Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Halibut fillets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 8 ounces (sliced) Cremini mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons (minced) Shallots
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 0.5 cup White wine
• 0.5 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Parsley
• 1 unit (cut into wedges) Lemon

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Once the oil is shimmering, place the halibut fillets in the skillet, skin-side down if applicable. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side without moving, until a golden crust forms.

Step 4

Flip the fillets gently and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the halibut from the skillet and set aside on a plate, tenting loosely with foil.

Step 5

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and turn golden brown.

Step 6

Add the minced shallots and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 7

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan and let the liquid reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Add the chicken or vegetable broth to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 9

Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and chopped parsley. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Return the halibut fillets to the skillet, spooning some of the mushroom sauce over the top. Let the fish warm through for 1-2 minutes.

Step 11

Serve the halibut fillets hot, topped with the mushroom sauce and accompanied by lemon wedges for squeezing over the dish.
