Ingredients

  • 4 oz. halibut fillets (about 3/4 inch thick)
  • finely ground black pepper
  • sea salt
  • 1 tsp. all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp. butter, divided
  • 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley

  • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter, in a large nonstick skillet, over medium heat. 
  • Add fish to the pan and cook for 5 minutes or until lightly browned. 
  • Carefully turn fish over; cook for 4 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until the desired degree of doneness. 
  • Remove fish from pan; set aside cover with foil and keep warm while you make the pan sauce. 
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the pan, cook for 1 minute or until lightly browned, swirling the pan to melt butter evenly and prevent burning.
