First, pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Season all over with garlic powder, paprika, pepper, and sea salt.

Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Then, carefully add in the seasoned halibut. Cook for 3 minutes on the first side. Then, add in the butter and lemon juice.

Carefully flip the fish and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until the fish is flaky.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pat Dry for Perfect Crust 💧
Use paper towels to thoroughly dry halibut fillets before seasoning; moisture prevents proper browning and creates steam instead of a golden sear.
Butter Basting Elevates Flavor 🧈
In the final 2-3 minutes, tilt the pan and continuously spoon the melted butter over the fillets to infuse richness and create a restaurant-quality finish.
Test Doneness Gently 🍴
Halibut is delicate; gently press the thickest part with a fork—it should flake easily when perfectly cooked, typically at 145°F internal temperature.
Room Temperature Start 🌡️
Remove halibut from the refrigerator 10 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking throughout and prevent a cold center with overcooked edges.
Fresh Herbs at the End 🌿
Scatter fresh herbs and lemon zest over the halibut just before serving to preserve their vibrant flavors and aromatic oils that define an elegant presentation.
