Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 fillets Halibut (Ensure it’s patted dry.)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt (Use flaky sea salt for finishing.)
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper (Freshly cracked works best.)
  • 4 tablespoons Butter (Use vegan butter for a plant-based version.)
  • 2 tablespoons Shallots (Finely chopped.)
  • 1/2 cup Dry White Wine (Dry vermouth is a good substitute.)
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice (Adjust to taste.)
  • 1 bunch Steamed Asparagus (Fresh and crunchy side.)
  • 2 cups Roasted Baby Potatoes (Contrasts beautifully with the dish.)

  2. Chop the shallots and measure out the butter, wine, and lemon juice.
  3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil.
  4. Season halibut with salt and pepper. Sear for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown.
  5. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Set aside.
  6. In the same skillet, lower heat, add shallots, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
  7. Add white wine, bring to a simmer, and reduce by half.
  8. Whisk in cold butter gradually until emulsified, then stir in lemon juice.
