Pan Seared Halibut Recipe With Lemon Butter Sauce Recipes

PAN SEARED HALIBUT RECIPE WITH LEMON BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Use paper towels to pat the halibut fillets completely dry - this will ensure even browning. Season the fish on both sides with garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes.
• Add the fish fillets in a single layer (you can do it in batches if all the fish won't fit in a single layer). Sear, without moving, for 3-4 minutes, until the edges of the fish are opaque. Flip and cook for 2-4 minutes, until cooked through.
• Remove the fish from the pan and cover tightly with foil to keep warm.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the same pan. Wait for it to melt, then heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the butter is browned and smells nutty.TIP: If you like garlic, you can also use this lemon butter sauce recipe.
• Use the Zulay Kitchen Lemon Squeezer to squeeze all the juice from both halves of the lemon into the pan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and simmer for about 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until volume is reduced by half. The lemon butter sauce will still be thin.
• Drizzle a little lemon butter sauce over each serving plate. Place the pan seared halibut fillets over the sauce, then drizzle more sauce on top.

SEARED HALIBUT WITH LEMON BUTTER SAUCE RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees fahrenheit. Pat the fillets dry with paper towels and lay them on a plate. Lightly season both sides with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil until very hot. Add the fillets and cook until light to medium brown on the first side, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and cook until light brown on the second side, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to warmed plates and put in the oven to finish cooking while you make the sauce. SAUCE: In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the shallot and white wine. Bring to a boil and cook until the liquid is reduced to about 1 tablespoon, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the butter, 1 or 2 cubes at a time. Adjust the heat if necessary so the butter melts but does not overheat and separate. Strain the sauce into a small bowl and whisk in the lemon juice, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Remove the fillets from the oven, drizzle with the sauce, and serve.
