Easy Pan-Fried Halibut image

The stay-at-home chef Paul grilled this and it was delicious! Be sure to put a little marinade aside before basting (to serve with cooked fish).

Time 20m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons honey
½ lemon, juiced
2 teaspoons soy sauce
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound fresh halibut fillet

Steps:

  • Combine butter, honey, lemon juice, soy sauce, pepper, and garlic in a small bowl.
  • Portion halibut by cutting it into 3 or 4 pieces with a sharp knife. Set aside a little of the marinade and brush each side of the halibut with the remaining butter-honey mixture.
  • Heat a skillet over high heat until it is sizzling hot - test by adding a drop of water to the skillet. If it sizzles and immediately evaporates when it hits the skillet, it is hot enough. Sear halibut for 90 seconds on each side. Reduce heat to medium and cook each side until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with reserved butter-honey marinade.
