Description

A delightful dish featuring halibut fillets drizzled with a rich lemon butter sauce, perfect for any family dinner or weeknight meal.


Ingredients

  • 2 halibut fillets
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish


Instructions

  1. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Add the lemon juice and zest, stirring to combine.
  3. Season the halibut fillets with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the halibut in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Remove from heat and pour the lemon butter sauce over the halibut.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure the skillet is adequately preheated to avoid sticking. Let the halibut rest for a minute before serving to maintain moisture.
