The Field Method for Cast Iron Care
The rich flavor of browned butter and subtle hints of thyme pair beautifully with the slight sweetness of the fish in this halibut cast iron recipe. Searing the fillets in your cast iron skillet gives the fish a crispy golden brown crust, while cooking the inside to flaky perfection. We love this dish served with oven roasted asparagus and new potatoes.
Instructions
Pat the halibut dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
Heat a Field No.10 Skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes. Add the oil. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the halibut and cook without moving until the bottom is golden brown and the fish no longer sticks to the pan when nudged with a spatula, 4 to 5 minutes.
Using a spatula, turn the halibut over and add the butter, thyme, and garlic to the pan. When the butter has melted, begin spooning the butter over the top of the halibut. Continue cooking and basting until the halibut is just opaque throughout, about 2 minutes longer.
Transfer the halibut to a serving platter and discard the thyme and garlic. Squeeze the lemon into the skillet and swirl the pan to mix the sauce. Pour sauce over the halibut and serve.
