Pan Seared Halibut 

4 tablespoons olive oil

1 lb. halibut

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

 

Heat large skillet on high heat. Season fish on non-skin side with salt and pepper or any other spices you prefer.

Add oil to the hot skillet. The oil should sizzle. 

Add fish to the skillet non-skin side down.

Sear for 4 minutes, moving the fish around to make sure oil coats the surface of the fish so that the fish is not sticking to pan while searing.

After the 4 minutes, turn the fish over on the skin side and cook for 3 more  minutes.

Skin can be removed easily removed at this point if you don’t like to eat it.
