Ingredients

• 4 pieces Halibut fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh chives, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.25 cup Chicken stock

Directions

Step 1

Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the halibut fillets to the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chicken stock to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet.

Step 6

Stir in the fresh parsley, dill, chives, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce is slightly reduced and well combined.

Step 7

Return the halibut fillets to the skillet, spooning the herb sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm the fish.

Step 8

Serve the halibut immediately, drizzling any remaining herb sauce over the top. Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or steamed rice for a complete meal.
