Wild Pacific halibut seared in olive oil, then finished in a lemon butter sauce with garlic, capers and a little honey. Lemon slices go into the pan at the end to soften. Serves two.

Ingredients

2 (6oz) Wild Pacific Halibut portions
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves minced garlic
¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
3 tbsp + 1 tsp butter, divided
½ tsp honey
2 tbsp minced parsley
2 tbsp capers
salt & pepper
lemon slices for garnish

Directions

Lemon Butter Sauce

In a small saucepan, melt 1 tsp butter over medium heat.
Add minced garlic to the saucepan and saute for 1-2 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Add chicken broth and lemon juice.
Let the sauce simmer for about 3 minutes or until it has reduced to almost half. Stir in the remaining butter and honey and whisk until well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.

Halibut

Thaw halibut, pat dry, and season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Once oil is heated, add halibut, and cook for 5 minutes.
Flip the halibut and pour the lemon butter sauce over the fish. Cook for another 3-5 minutes. Add the lemon slices on and around the filets at this time to lightly cook and absorb the flavor.
Sprinkle capers and parsley over the top and remove from heat.
