Lemon-Garlic Halibut Deliciousness

We LOVE Halibut and this recipe gets TheRealAlaska seal of approval. Our favorite halibut is a zesty lemon-style, but this recipe takes the cake by infusing garlic as well. Now that your mouth is watering, hurry up and go buy a filet of Wild Alaskan Halibut.

Ingredients:

• 4 halibut fillets, about 6 to 8 ounces each
• salt and pepper
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon dried leaf basil
• 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
• lemon slices
• parsley leaves

Place halibut fillets skin side down on greased baking pan or greased rack of broiler pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

In a small saucepan, combine butter, garlic, and herbs. Heat over low heat until butter is melted and garlic is softened, about 1 to 2 minutes. Spoon butter mixture over each fillet. If making ahead, cover the pan and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours, or until ready to cook.

Heat broiler. Broil halibut for about 10 minutes, or until it flakes easily when tested with a fork. Garnish with parsley leaves and lemon slices, if desired.
