Preparation

Step 1

Method:

Place halibut in a bowl with olive oil and let stand 30 minutes. Combine spices in a 9-inch pie plate.

Heat cast iron skillet upside down over high heat for a minimum of 10 minutes, or until very hot. Using a hot pad, turn pan upright. Remove halibut from olive oil and drain. Dip fillets into seasonings and coat each side evenly. Put fillets into hot skillet and cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side, turning only once.
