PAN SEARED HALIBUT WITH LEMON DILL SAUCE
Steps:
- Lemon Dill Sauce In a small saucepan, heat wine and shallots over medium-high heat until reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 12-15 minutes. Turn off the heat. Gradually add each cube of butter into the reduction, whisking each piece to create a thicker emulsified sauce. Add the chopped dill, lemon zest, and lemon juice into the sauce, whisking to combine. Taste and season with salt as needed. Set aside.
- Pan-Seared Halibut Remove the fish from the refrigerator and let stand for 15 minutes. Dry the surface very well in between two paper towels. Right before cooking, season each side of the halibut fillets generously with salt and pepper. Preheat a large stainless steel pan over high heat. Add enough grapeseed oil until it reaches about ⅛-inch of the side of the pan. Heat until oil starts to shimmer. Carefully add each halibut fillet to the pan presentation-side down, press the flesh with a spatula to create direct contact with the oil to create a golden crust. Reduce heat to medium-high and cook for 4-5 minutes. When the bottom of the fish is golden brown, carefully flip to the other side. Reduce heat to medium-low and heat until cooked through, making sure not to overcook the fillets, about 2-4 minutes. Transfer to plate with a paper towel to remove any excess cooking oil. Gently reheat the lemon dill sauce, whisking to combine making sure not to overheat as this will cause the sauce to separate. Serve each fillet with a ¼ cup of sauce.

[email protected]Not bad, but I've had better. The halibut was a bit overcooked, and the sauce was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

[email protected]Good recipe, but I made a few changes. I used a different type of fish (cod), and I added some chopped capers to the sauce. Turned out great!

[email protected]Meh. The halibut was a bit dry, and the sauce was too lemony for my taste. Not a fan.

[email protected]So easy and delicious! I used frozen halibut fillets and they turned out great. The sauce was amazing - I could drink it by itself. Served with roasted vegetables and rice, and it was a complete meal. Highly recommend!
