Steps:
- For the halibut: Place a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the halibut with olive oil and season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Let the fish rest for a few minutes then cut into 1-inch cubes.
- For the salad: In a large bowl, combine the frisee, arugula, tomatoes, chickpeas, and fennel. In a small bowl mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, cumin, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the salad and toss to combine. Top with fish and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest halibut possible. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has a mild, briny smell.
- Pat the halibut dry before cooking. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the pan.
- Use a nonstick skillet to cook the halibut. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking and breaking apart.
- Cook the halibut over medium heat. This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Baste the halibut with butter or oil while it is cooking. This will help to keep the fish moist and flavorful.
- Serve the halibut immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.
