Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- juice from 1 large lemon
- 1/2 cup dry white wine, such as pinot grigio
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus 1 tbsp for the pan
- sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 lb Alaska halibut
- 1 tbsp butter*
- lemon slices, for serving
Instructions
- In a large, shallow dish, combine garlic, lemon juice, wine and olive oil.
- Use a sharp knife to cut halibut into 4 portions. Place portions into the dish with the marinade, turning to coat. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Remove halibut from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Place in the hot pan and cook until a golden crust forms on the bottom of the fish, about 3-5 minutes. Try not to move the fish around the pan a lot until the crust forms to decrease sticking.
- Flip fish and cook in the other side until cooked through.
