Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-ounce each) Halibut fillets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the halibut fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Season the fillets evenly with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Place the all-purpose flour in a shallow dish. Lightly dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the halibut fillets to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, or until golden brown.

Step 6

Carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fillets to a plate and keep warm.

Step 7

Add the unsalted butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 8

Stir in the lemon juice and let the mixture simmer gently for 1 minute.

Step 9

Return the halibut fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top to coat the fish.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the fillets.

Step 11

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for additional flavor.
