Quick Skillet Halibut with Honey-Lemon Glaze
  1. 1

    In a small bowl, mix the butter, honey, lemon juice, garlic, soy sauce, and pepper. Transfer a small portion to another small bowl and set it aside for serving.

  2. 2

    Cut the halibut into three pieces with a sharp knife, then brush both sides with the remaining butter-honey mixture.

  3. 3

    Heat a skillet over high heat until it is sizzling hot. Add the halibut and sear for 90 seconds per side. Lower the heat to medium and cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve with the reserved butter-honey mixture.
