Ingredients

Scale

For the Halibut

  • 2 halibut fillets (6 oz each)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Lemon Beurre Blanc Sauce

  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Season the Halibut: Pat the halibut fillets dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper to enhance the natural flavors of the fish.
  2. Sear the Halibut: Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add a bit of oil or butter. Place the halibut fillets in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through but still moist inside. Remove from pan and keep warm.
  3. Reduce the Wine and Lemon: In the same pan, pour in the white wine and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and let the mixture reduce by half to concentrate the flavors, which should take a few minutes.
  4. Add Heavy Cream: Stir in the heavy cream and let the sauce simmer gently for about 1 minute to thicken slightly, without boiling.
  5. Incorporate the Butter: Lower the heat to low, then whisk in the cold, cubed butter one piece at a time. This emulsifies the sauce, making it creamy and smooth without separating.
  6. Finish and Serve: Spoon the luscious lemon beurre blanc sauce over the seared halibut fillets and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Keep the butter cold to ensure smooth emulsification of the sauce.
  • Avoid boiling the sauce once the butter is added to prevent it from breaking.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the sauce at its optimal texture and flavor.
