EASY HALIBUT FILLETS WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Make little aluminum foil trays sized to fit each fillet.
• Wipe the bottom of each tray with olive oil.
• Put the fillets ugly side up (skin side even if the skin is now removed) on the trays.
• Mix the butter with the chopped herbs throughly.
• Place 1 tablespoon of the butter on the halibut.
• Broil for 4 minutes.
• Carefully turn each fillet over, not spilling any of the melted herb butter.
• Broil for 4 more minutes.
• Remove and plate, pouring the melted sauce over each fillet.

BROILED HALIBUT WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Brush broiler rack with a little olive oil.
• Lightly sprinkle halibut with salt and pepper.
• Combine melted butter with garlic, chopped parsley, if using, and herb seasoning blend.
• Brush the fish fillets with the herb butter mixture.
• Place on broiler rack. Broil for about 10 to 14 minutes, depending on thickness, turning once about halfway through.
• Serve this halibut with potatoes or rice, spinach, or another green vegetable. If desired, serve with a creamy sauce. The recipe is very easy to scale down for two people. Use 2 fillets, a small clove of garlic, about 1 1/2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of parsley along with a little less seasoning.

PAN-SEARED MARINATED HALIBUT FILLETS

Steps:

• In a large sealable plastic bag, combine the 6 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, basil, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Add fish, seal bag, and turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
• In a large flat skillet (do not use a ridged pan), pour light olive oil or vegetable oil, tilting pan to spread evenly. Warm over high heat until smoking, then add fish fillets. Brush top and sides with marinade. Cook until seared, about 3 minutes; turn and sear other side, about 3 more minutes. Brush top and sides with marinade again. Reduce heat to medium. Cook until centers of fillets are just opaque, 2 to 4 minutes more on each side depending on thickness, brushing with marinade as before. Garnish with parsley, if desired, and serve.

HERB CRUSTED HALIBUT

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Combine panko bread crumbs, parsley, dill, chives, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Taste and adjust with more salt if desired.
• Rinse halibut fillets and pat dry with a paper towel.
• Place halibut fillets onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Generously spoon the herbed crumbs over the fish, and lightly press crumb mixture onto each fillet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crumb topping is lightly browned and fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes.

• Brush both sides of the halibut fillets with the butter sauce.
