Light, flakey, and moist, you will love this Wild Alaskan Garlic Butter Halibut Recipe. It’s so easy to make with only a few simple ingredients
Ingredients
- Olive oil — I like to use olive oil, but you can use another oil such as avocado oil if you prefer.
- Halibut fish fillets — Frozen is fresh. Buy premium quality Halibut fis filletshere.
- Seasoning: I use garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to season my halibut.
- Butter — Make sure to use unsalted butter as we are already seasoning with salt.
- Garlic cloves — Minced the garlic finely.
- Fresh rosemary — Chop some fresh rosemary for garnish. If you don’t have fresh rosemary, you can use fresh parsley.
- Lemon juice – it’s optional, but I love to squeeze a little bit of fresh lemon juice on top of my fish. It adds more flavor.
Instructions
Prepare the Halibut Recipe
- In a large skillet heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Pat halibut fish dry with a paper towel and season both sides of the fish with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt and pepper.
Tip: If your fish was in the fridge, let your fish come to room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking.
Sear the Halibut
- Place the halibut filets in a large cast-iron skillet and turn the heat to medium.
- Sear the fish for 3-4 minutes.
- Flip your fish filets over to cook the other side.
- Set aside once the fish is cooked.
Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
- Reduce the heat to low and add butter to the skillet.
- When it melts, add garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds or 1 minute. Keep a close eye on the garlic as you don’t want it to burn.
- Add the halibut back to the pan and spoon the sauce over the filets. You might have to tilt the pan a bit. Garnish with fresh rosemary.
