Pan Seared Halibut (Only 4 Ingredients)
Description
This recipe uses only a few ingredients to emphasize the clean flavor of halibut. The fish is seasoned generously with garlic parsley salt, then cooked in a butter-heated skillet over medium-high heat until a crust forms. Lemon slices placed in the skillet impart subtle acidity and aroma during cooking. After flipping the fillets, the heat is reduced to finish cooking the fish without over-browning.
The halibut is finished with a light sprinkle of fresh lemon juice and chopped herbs such as parsley or dill, which contribute herbal brightness that complements the rich, buttery flavor. The result is a pan-seared fillet with a golden crust and tender interior suitable for a simple, elegant meal.
This dish can be served immediately, perhaps with light sides or fresh salad. Its minimal ingredient list and quick method make it accessible for a straightforward seafood dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs halibut fillet
- 1 tbsp garlic parsley salt adjust to taste
- 1/4 cup butter unsalted
- 1 lemon sliced
- 2 tbsp herbs parsley, green onions, cilantro, or dill, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat a skillet with butter over medium-high heat.
- Season the halibut generously on all sides with garlic parsley salt. Gently add the fillets to the skillet. Arrange the lemon slices throughout the skillet.

- Lightly sprinkle the halibut with lemon juice and herbs (parsley or dill work great). Serve right away.
