For an extra crispy crust, allow the coated halibut to rest for a few minutes before frying. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary to maintain even browning. To prevent the fish from sticking, ensure the pan is properly heated before adding the oil. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables, a lemon-butter sauce, or a simple green salad for a complete and elegant meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Breading: In a shallow bowl, lightly beat the egg. In a separate shallow bowl, combine the flour, herbes de Provence, seafood seasoning, salt, and black pepper. (5 minutes)
02
StepHeat the Pan: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Ensure the pan is evenly coated with oil. (2 minutes)
03
StepCoat the Halibut: Dip each halibut portion into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, dredge the halibut in the flour mixture, ensuring all sides are evenly coated. Gently tap off any excess flour. (8 minutes)
04
StepPan-Fry to Perfection: Immediately place the coated halibut into the preheated skillet. Cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until the underside is lightly golden brown. Carefully flip the halibut and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. (7 minutes)
05
StepServe Immediately: Remove the halibut from the skillet and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon, if desired.
