How to Pan-Fry Halibut
The largest of all the flatfish, halibut is cut for cooking into chunky steaks or fillets. A firm, meaty fish, it is extremely versatile to cook with. Its mild flavor means it is delicious served simply fried or grilled, with a full-flavored marinade or sauce.
Pan-frying is a quick and tasty way to serve halibut. Ideally, it leaves the fish moist and melting, with a delicious, slightly crunchy outer crust.
Things You'll Need
- Frying Pan
- Flour
- Seasoning
- Oil
- Butter
Instructions
-
Buy your cut of fish or prepare it yourself. To fillet, remove the skin on both sides by making an incision near the tail and then peeling away from the tail in one firm motion, before gently releasing the fillets with a knife and pulling away the central bones from the head end of the fish. For steaks, trim away the frills and small fins, remove the head and cut into portions.
-
Prepare a seasoned flour mixture. Dip the fish into the flour, making sure both sides are well covered. Shake to remove any excess.
-
Heat 1 tbsp. sunflower or olive oil in a pan. Lower the heat and then add the fish to the oil, following it with 1 tbsp. unsalted butter cut into pieces. Fry until golden brown on both sides -- 4 to 5 minutes for fillets or 5 to 7 minutes for steaks.
