Halibut has a delicate flavor and firm texture. Overcooking can dry it out. So Pan searing and basting with the oil/ butter mixture keeps it moist and flaky. Pan searing adds a nice light crust to the outside of the halibut. Then into the oven to finish cooking.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 lb halibut fillet
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon seasoning salt (green herb seasoned salt or your favorite)
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup diced shallot
1 slice cooked bacon
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Wash fillet and towel dry of moisture.
3. Mix cornstarch, seasoned salt, sugar. Coat the halibut with the mixture.
4. In a saute pan that is oven safe heat olive oil and butter over medium high heat.
5. Pan sear for 3 minutes on one side flip add shallots and bacon and baste with some of the butter/oil from the bottom of the pan. Sear for 3 more minutes. Continue basting with the oil/butter mixture. Transfer the pan to the oven and finish cooking for about another 6 to 8 minutes.
