Ingredients
6-8 halibut fillets, about 8 ounces each
1/3 cup grapeseed oil
4-5 large sprigs fresh rosemary, washed and dried
Paprika
Fleur de sel or Maldon sea salt, to taste
Cracked pepper
You will also need:
Large sauté pan
Metal or Teflon spatula
Tongs
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Rinse and dry the halibut fillets. Sprinkle generously with the paprika, fleur de sel and cracked pepper. Set aside.
Heat the oil over medium heat until hot. Add the rosemary and sauté for about 2 minutes until the oil is nice and fragrant. Remove the rosemary from the oil and discard. Turn up the heat and get the skillet very hot. Add the halibut fillets (you want to get a nice sear on the fish so make sure that the pan is really hot). Sear the fish on one side for about 2 minutes. Turn the fillets over and place the entire skillet in the hot oven. Let the fish finish cooking in the oven for about eight minutes, or until just cooked throughout. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
Great with my Heirloom Tomato, Corn and Basil Salad with Champagne Vinaigrette Dressing.
Serves 6-8.
