Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Halibut steaks
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Pat the halibut steaks dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is shimmering, carefully place the halibut steaks into the pan.
Step 3
Cook the halibut steaks for 3-4 minutes on the first side, until the bottom is golden brown and the fish easily releases from the pan.
Step 4
Flip the halibut steaks and reduce the heat to medium. Add the unsalted butter and minced garlic to the skillet.
Step 5
Spoon the melted butter and garlic over the halibut as it cooks on the second side for 3-4 minutes. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
Step 6
Turn off the heat and drizzle the halibut with fresh lemon juice. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
Step 7
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
