Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Halibut fillets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 0.5 cup (freshly squeezed) Orange juice
• 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the halibut fillets with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the halibut fillets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fillets and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Allow it to melt, then stir in the minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the orange juice, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, reducing slightly.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Return the cooked halibut fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the fish. Cook for 1-2 minutes to warm the fillets through.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Pair with your choice of vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
