HALIBUT WITH HERBED BUTTER
Steps:
- For the herb butter, in a medium bowl, combine the butter, garlic, chopped herbs, and lemon zest plus salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly and transfer to a small saucepan.
- Heat the olive oil in a grill pan over high heat. Sprinkle the halibut generously on both sides with salt and pepper. When the grill pan is hot, place the fish on the pan, and cook for about 3 minutes on one side.
- Meanwhile, heat the herb butter just until melted.
- Turn the fish, lower the heat to medium, and pour the melted herb butter over the fish. Cover the pan, turn off the heat, and allow to sit for 3 minutes.
- To serve, place the fish on a serving platter, spoon the herb butter over the fish, sprinkle with extra parsley, and serve hot.
Tips:
- Use fresh halibut fillets for the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs instead. Just use about half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh.
- To make the herb butter, simply mix together the softened butter, herbs, lemon juice, and salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder or onion powder, to taste.
- To cook the halibut fillets, you can either pan-fry them or bake them. If you pan-fry them, be sure to use a non-stick skillet and cook the fillets over medium heat until they are cooked through.
- If you bake the halibut fillets, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the fillets for about 15 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
- Serve the halibut fillets immediately with the herb butter and your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
Conclusion:
Easy halibut fillets with herb butter is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The halibut fillets are cooked until they are flaky and tender, and the herb butter adds a delicious and flavorful topping. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
