Ingredients
Serves 4
1.5 lbs Halibut (cut into fillets)
1 cup chopped fresh herbs of your choice ( I use a combo of parsley, dill, basil, mint but feel free to get creative)
2 TLBS lemon juice (divided) + zest of 1 lemon
3 TLBS minced shallot
3 TLBS butter (divided)
1 TLBS extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup white wine
salt and pepper
Directions
Chop approximately 1 cup of fresh herbs and mix to combine. Add a 1 TLBS of lemon juice, lemon zest, pinch of salt and stir. Set aside.
Pat fish fillets dry and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet to medium high. Melt 2 TLBS butter and 1 TLBS olive oil until smoking hot.
Add fillets and sear about four minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 145°. Remove fish from skillet and place on serving dish.
Reduce heat to medium and to the pan add 1 TLBS butter and shallots. Sautee shallots until softened about 1 to 2 minutes. Add wine and remaining TLBS of lemon juice and reduce liquid by half.
Pour sauce over fish and top with herb mixture. Serve with lemon wedges.
