Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Halibut fillets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 0.25 cup (optional) White wine

Directions

Step 1

Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot and shimmering, place the halibut fillets in the skillet. Sear for 3–4 minutes on one side without moving them, until a golden crust forms.

Step 4

Carefully flip the fillets and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for an additional 3–4 minutes on the other side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and add the unsalted butter to the same skillet, allowing it to melt.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.

Step 7

Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and white wine (if using). Let the sauce simmer for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally to deglaze the pan and incorporate the flavors.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.

Step 9

Spoon the lemon butter sauce over the cooked halibut fillets. Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a light salad.
