Pan-Broiled Halibut with Lemon, Capers, and Parsley

Here, a simple mixture of mayonnaise, mustard, capers, lemon zest and parsley has been spread atop the fillets before cooking. It browns beautifully under the broiler, creating a thin, tasty crust. The fish needs nothing more than a squeeze of lemon upon serving!

Cooking Instructions

Set a rack 4 inches from the broiler, and preheat it to high. Be sure it preheats for a good 10 minutes before you use it.

In a small bowl, stir together the Mayonnaise (2 Tbsp) , Dijon Mustard (1 Tbsp) , Capers (1 Tbsp) , Fresh Parsley (2 Tbsp) , and zest of the Lemon (1) .

Season the Halibut Fillets (4) with Kosher Salt (to taste) and Freshly Ground Black Pepper (to taste) . Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over each of the fillets.

In a large skillet set over high heat, pour in the Grapeseed Oil (2 Tbsp) . When the oil begins to shimmer or is nearly smoking, carefully lower the fillets into the oil, and immediately transfer the skillet to the oven. Cook for 4-5 minutes.

Transfer fillets to a platter or serving plates and let rest for 1 minute.

Serve with a wedge of Lemons (to taste) on the side.
