Savor the elegant flavors of pan-seared halibut adorned with a crunchy pistachio-herb crust. This dish balances the natural sweetness of fresh halibut with a zesty lemon drizzle and a fragrant medley of herbs, making it a refined yet wholesome choice for dinner.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Halibut Fillet
1 oz unsalted Pistachios
2 tbsp chopped Fresh Parsley
2 tbsp chopped Fresh Basil
1 tsp Lemon Zest
0.5 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the halibut fillet dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.
In a food processor, combine the pistachios, chopped parsley, chopped basil, and lemon zest. Pulse until roughly chopped but still retaining some texture for a crunchy crust.
Lightly press the pistachio-herb mixture onto the top of the halibut fillet, ensuring it adheres well.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the halibut fillet, crust side down first, and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the crust becomes golden and fragrant.
Carefully flip the fillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil to create a bright drizzle.
Plate the halibut and drizzle the lemon mixture over the fish. Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant flavors.
