Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 tablespoon minced flat-leaf parsley, plus extra for serving
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh sage leaves
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 (6 to 8-ounce) skinless halibut fillets, about 1 inch thick, at room temperature
Instructions
- For the herb butter, in a medium bowl, combine the butter, garlic, chopped herbs, and lemon zest plus salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly and transfer to a small saucepan.
- Heat the olive oil in a grill pan over high heat. Sprinkle the halibut generously on both sides with salt and pepper. When the grill pan is hot, place the fish on the pan, and cook for about 3 minutes on one side.

Does anyone know what kind of grill pan they were using?
Awesome recipe! Definitely will make again & again! We only made one substitution … didn’t have chives, so we used a green onion diced!
Delicious! Definitely would serve for a dinner party!
Amazing. Simple to make, amazing flavor. Love it. I have adapted to all kinds of fish, not just halibut.
Made this with Cod and it cooked perfectly. I will try with Salmon next as I have a lot of it. Followed the herb mixture and it was excellent.
I love this recipe. I use whatever fresh herbs I have on hand. The cooking method makes the fish perfect every time. Easy and delicious.
Made it with flounder and it was so good!
This is one of my favorites recipes.
Very easy and delicious

Can you use dried herbs/spices for this? Has anyone tried it this way?
This recipe was a huge hit with the family last night! I used cod instead of halibut and used all herbs minus sage and chives because I didn’t have any, but the flavors so great and fish turned out super moist and flakey! Even my mother in law who doesn’t eat much fish LOVED it. I highly recommend this recipe.
