Ingredients For Pan Seared Halibut.
Halibut. Halibut is my favorite white fish. It has a lot of nutritional benefits. You can use ANY white fish you want but I suggest a fresh caught alaskan halibut for this recipe.
Grains. Any grain will work. Brown or white rice, wild rice, quinoa and more.
White wine. It doesn’t need to be expensive, in fact a cheap Chardonnay is perfect for this pan sear halibut.
Veggies. I prefer zucchini and broccoli but you do you, boo! You can use ANY veggie you enjoy eating. If you don’t like broccoli but love cauliflower, great, use that!
How To Make this Pan Seared Halibut.
Step 1. This recipe is SO simple. You will start with warming golive oil in a pan. Add in your chopped veggies. season them with the salt and garlic. Sauté them until they start to soften and get a little charred/blackened on some spots.
Step 2. Add in a little more oil and season your fish on both sides with salt, thyme and rosemary. Add the halibut to the skillet or pan and cook on each side for about 5 – 9 minutes (depending on the size of the fish and the heat you are on) You will want it to have a little ironing and be slightly flakey.
FAQs & Tips.
Buy fresh alaskan caught halibut. You can buy frozen, however I always prefer it as fresh as possible.
Any whitefish will work with this recipe.
Don’t overcook your fish! Be sure to check it often while cooking. The larger the piece of fish, the longer it will need to cook on each side. Add more wine wine to the pan as needed to help steam the veggies and fish.
