Pan Seared Halibut with Sun-Dried Tomato Butter
Ultra crispy on the outside and tender and flaky on the inside, our Pan-Seared Halibut is an easy, impressive dinner that can be served any night of the week. We top the hot fish with a quick sun-dried tomato butter that slowly melts into the fish resulting in a flavor “sauce” with virtually no effort.
