Instructions
Creating delicious Halibut with Lemony Zucchini Noodles is simple when you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare Zucchini Noodles: Use a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler to cut the zucchinis into noodles. Set aside.
2. Season Halibut: Season the halibut fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. Cook Halibut: Place the halibut fillets into the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set them on a plate.
5. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Add Zucchini Noodles: Toss in the zucchini noodles, and cook for 2-3 minutes until just tender but still firm.
7. Add Lemon and Broth: Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vegetable or chicken broth. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring the noodles are coated in the lemony sauce.
8. Combine Halibut and Noodles: Return the halibut fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Allow them to heat through for 1 more minute.
9. Taste and Adjust: Taste the noodles and seasoning. Adjust with more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes if desired.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
