Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pat the halibut dry with a paper towel. Season each fillet with parsley, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the halibut on the hot oil skin side up, and cook without touching until golden, about 4 minutes. Carefully flip the halibut and continue cooking until you reach your desired doneness, 3 to 4 more minutes.
  • Transfer to a platter, squeeze lemon juice on top and scatter with fresh chopped parsley.

Notes

Tip: When cooking halibut or any fish with the skin on use a cast iron skillet for the best crispy skin!
