This pan seared LEMONY HALIBUT is over the top easy and equally delish!
Yes, if you can’t find halibut or don’t enjoy it, this recipe would work with most any firm white fish. We’d suggest mahi mahi, cod or even tilapia, but if you have the opportunity to enjoy halibut, it’s a must!
Fish is one of those proteins that makes getting dinner on the table in a hurry. It cooks easily in a cast iron pan, like this LEMONY HALIBUT features. But it’s equally as easy in the oven as a sheet pan meal. Don’t want to heat up the kitchen, yep you know it, using an AIR FRYER with fish is a game changer. In the summer our air fryer is our go-to and have been enjoying our CUISINART AIR FRYER for almost three years
Using a cast iron pan with this preparation makes it super convenient to stir that lemony sauce together after the fish is done. It makes the halibut sing for your taste buds, no joke! The capers add a bit of tang and pair so well with lemon and dill.
We use the BALANCED BITES TRIFECTA BLEND in this recipe for good reason. It’s our favorite blend they have and it’s a perfect blend of garlic, pepper and salt. They’re spices are all organic and also amazing! Do check them out!
Speaking of tasty seafood. We’ve been enjoying BUTCHER BOX seafood for the last couple of years and when they offer halibut, we swiftly add it to our next box. Right now, new members can enjoy FREE BACON for life! Ya, it’s an added feature we have with our membership and enjoy having a freezer full of tasty bacon.
