Pan Fried Halibut

Ingredients

• 2 halibut filets (about 5 ounces each)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Fresh parsley
• Lime

Instructions

1. 1

   Sprinkle the halibut filets with dried basil, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper on both sides.

2. 2

   Place a large cast-iron skillet on medium heat. Add a tablespoon of butter and some olive oil. Wait for the butter to melt.

3. 3

   Next, toss the minced garlic clove into the skillet. Cook it for about 1 minute until it smells nice.

4. 4

   Lay the halibut filets in the skillet, ensuring they're not on top of each other. Cook them for 4-5 minutes on each side. The fish should break apart easily with a fork when it's done. If the filets are thicker, you may need to cook them a bit longer.

5. 5

   While the fish is cooking, take a lemon and squeeze its juice into a small bowl. Put the bowl aside for later.

6. 6

   Once the filets are cooked, take them out of the skillet and place them on a plate for serving.

7. 7

   Now, pour the lemon juice you set aside into the skillet. Add the remaining butter and some chopped parsley. Cook this mixture for 1-2 minutes, stirring it all the time, until the sauce gets a bit thicker.

8. 8

   Pour the buttery lemon sauce over the pan-fried halibut filets.
