Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 4 halibut fillets 6 oz/170g each
- 1 tbsp 15ml olive oil
- 1 tbsp 14g unsalted butter
- 1 lemon juiced and zested, about 2 tbsp juice and 1 tsp zest
- 2 garlic cloves 6g, minced
- 1 tsp 2g fresh dill (or ½ tsp dried dill)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley 2g, chopped, for garnish, optional
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- I preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking.
Prepare the Halibut
- I rinse 4 halibut fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels to ensure a crisp sear.
Season the Fish
- I drizzle each fillet with 1 tbsp olive oil, then season both sides with salt, black pepper, and 1 tsp fresh dill.
Sear the Fish
- In an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, I melt 1 tbsp butter. I add the halibut fillets and sear for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Add Garlic and Lemon
- I scatter 2 minced garlic cloves around the fillets, squeeze 2 tbsp lemon juice over them, and sprinkle 1 tsp lemon zest for a fresh, bright flavor.
Bake the Fish
- I transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, until the fish flakes easily or reaches 145°F (63°C) internally, checked with a meat thermometer.
Serve
- I remove the skillet from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
