For an even richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to the sauce. If you don't have halibut cheeks, you can substitute with halibut fillets, cut into similar-sized pieces. Adjust cooking time accordingly. A splash of dry sherry or rice wine vinegar can add another layer of complexity to the sauce. To prevent the halibut from sticking, ensure the pan is properly heated before adding the oil, and the oil is shimmering before adding the fish. Patting the halibut dry also helps to achieve a better sear.
