Ingredients

FISH

  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 600 grams Halibut
  • Sea Salt & Pepper

DIJON CHIMICHURRI

  • ¼ cup flat Italian parsley chopped small
  • ¼ cup fresh basil chopped small
  • ¼ cilantro chopped small
  • 2 tbsp red onion diced small
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp capers chopped small
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Sea salt & Pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400F and get out a cast iron or oven safe skillet. Prepare your chimichurri before beginning to cook by simply cutting up and adding ingredients small, you can also add to a food processor and set aside until ready to serve.
  • Clean your halibut and dry it really well. Season well with sea salt and pepper. On your stove top heat oven safe skillet to medium/high heat. Add avocado oil and let it get hot. Once hot add your halibut flesh side down (skin facing up). Let cook for 5-6 minutes until the flesh becomes golden.
  • Once the fish is nice and seared, flip it onto its skin and place into the oven for 10 minutes or longer depending on the thickness, size of your fish. I generally cook mine for 10 minutes until I can take a fork in center and see it’s cooked through.
  • Remove from the oven, let sit for 5 minutes before topping with your dijon chimichurri sauce. Serve alongside your favorite veggies or grain and enjoy!
