Butter And Olive Oil Basted California Halibut Recipe Taste Of Place

8 oz. California halibut filet (or other thin white fish filet)

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. Black pepper

Juice and zest of 1 lemon

1 tbsp. butter

1 tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil

1/2 tsp. seedless chili flakes

Preparation

Step 1Season fish filets with salt and pepper and set aside.Step 2Heat a 10 to 12 inch sauté pan over medium heat (slightly on the low side of medium) for 4 minutes to get warm.Step 3Add the butter, olive oil, lemon zest and juice and the chili flakes to the pan.Step 4When the butter is melted add the fish filets and cook about 4 minutes per side, or until the fish feels flaky when you gently push your finger against it. Larger filets will take longer and may need about 5 minutes of oven time at 450 degrees. Thin filets (1 inch or less) will easily finish on the stove top.Step 5Place the fish on the serving plate and pour the remaining pan juices on top.See all recipes and cooking videos from Chef Donald Link.
