An elegant yet simple dish featuring fresh halibut fillets, perfectly seared and served with a buttery, lemony sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 halibut fillets
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
  • Asparagus, rice, or roasted potatoes (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Start by generously seasoning the halibut fillets with salt and pepper.
  2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the halibut fillets to the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side.
  4. Once the fish is cooked through, carefully remove the fillets from the skillet and keep them warm on a plate.
  5. In the same skillet, pour in the white wine and lemon juice.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the chilled butter, a few cubes at a time.
  7. Place the halibut fillets on plates, spoon generous amounts of the lemon beurre blanc over the top, and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
  8. Accompany your pan-seared halibut with your choice of sides—roasted asparagus, fluffy rice, or crispy roasted potatoes.

Notes

For a more flavorful sauce, add a splash of capers. Ensure the pan is hot before adding the fish to prevent sticking.
