Pan-Seared Halibut with Citrus Butter Sauce & Parmesan-AsparagusPan-Seared Halibut with Citrus Butter Sauce & Parmesan-Asparagus — a 40-minute dinner recipe with 11 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

3 small bunches asparagus

6 cloves garlic

1.02 kg halibut fillet

1 ½ lemons

1 ½ oranges

170 g Parmesan cheese

3 shallots

black pepper

butter, unsalted

extra virgin olive oil

salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 205°C (400°F).

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Snap or cut off the woody ends of the asparagus. Divide between two baking sheets, drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.

Place asparagus in the oven (it doesn't have to be fully heated) and bake until tender, 12-15 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

While the skillet heats up, pat the halibut dry with paper towels and place on a plate; season with salt and pepper on both sides.

Once the skillet is hot, add butter and swirl to coat the bottom.

Working in batches if necessary, add halibut and pan-fry, turning once, until lightly browned and just cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, finely grate Parmesan.

Peel and mince shallots and garlic.

Juice lemons and oranges into a small bowl.

Remove asparagus from the oven and sprinkle with half of the Parmesan. Return to the oven and bake until cheese is melted and golden, 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Transfer the cooked halibut to a clean plate and cover with foil. Return skillet to medium heat.

Add shallot and garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until starting to soften, about 1 minute.

Add citrus juice and butter to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.

To serve, divide asparagus, halibut, and citrus sauce between plates. Top with remaining Parmesan and enjoy!
