Ingredients
For the fish
- 2 halibut filets, skin removed
- 2 T canola oil
- Kosher salt to season
For the sauce
- 2 T unsalted butter
- ½ cup small diced Envy apples or other apple variety
- 1 T lemon juice
- 1 tsp finely chopped parsley
Equipment needed
- Medium/Large sauté pan
- Metal spatula (the hard metal helps carefully get under the fish when it’s time to flip)
Preparation
Generously season both sides of the fish filets with kosher salt
Heat a medium sauté pan over high heat and let heat for at least 30 seconds
Add 2 T canola oil to the pan and let warm for 10-15 seconds
Carefully add the fish filets to the hot oil and let sear on high for 1 minute
After 1 minute, turn down the heat to medium and allow the fish to gently cook for another 2 minutes
Using a spatula, carefully flip each filet and continue cooking over medium heat for another 2 minutes
Remove the fish from the pan and let rest on a paper towel lined plate to soak up excess oil
Drain the oil from the pan and return it to the heat
Add the butter and allow to melt and begin to brown (approx. 1 min)
Add the apples and allow to sauté for 1 more minute
Add the lemon juice and chopped parsley and stir, turn heat off
Plate the fish on a dinner plate and spoon the sauce over top
Enjoy!
