Italian Style Halibut

Print Recipe
Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 pounds halibut
  • ~3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh chopped basil
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh chopped Italian parsley
  • 1 Tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 2 Tablespoons minced shallots
  • 1 large minced garlic clove
  • 1 Tablespoon Parmigiano Reggiano
  • salt and pepper
  • White wine a few tablespoons
  • Lemon wedges

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, mix olive oil through parmesan cheese.
  2. Place fish in a baking dish, season fish with salt and pepper. Pour herb marinade evenly over fish, gently rubbing in with your fingers.
  3. Marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour (if possible).
  4. Heat a skillet on medium heat, add a drizzle of oil, place skin side down for ~3 minutes, flip fish cook additional 2 minutes, flip one more time back onto skin. Pour in a splash of white wine and cook one more minute or until fish is opaque. Serve with fresh lemon wedges.

Notes

Adjust cooking time depending on thickness of fish. You are just looking for the fish to become opaque. This would also be great on the grill. The original recipe called for 1/2 cup parmesan cheese but I wasn't looking for that flavor. I only added 1 Tablespoon but you could do more or none depending on your preference.
