Halibut
Method
Halibut
Prepare the halibut
Pat halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Sear the fish
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear halibut fillets 3-4 minutes per side until golden and just opaque in the center. Remove and keep warm.
Make the lemon butter sauce
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic; sauté 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, and gluten-free flour if using. Cook until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. If sauce is too thick, whisk in vegetable stock or water a little at a time.
