4 (6-ounce) skinless halibut fillets

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

cooking spray

Directions:

1. Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring until well blended.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle fillets evenly on both sides with salt and pepper. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add fillets to pan; sauté 5 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Serve fish with butter mixture.
