Glitne Halibut w/ Lemon and Capers

Being of Norwegian descent, I grew up eating many different Scandinavian dishes. Many of my favorite dishes relied heavily on high-quality fish, and when I saw SEATOPIA had Glitne Halibut, I knew I was going to make something inspired by those roots.

Whenever I think of my childhood and eating fish, I think of lemon and capers. I’ve had that combination a many times, yet it never gets old. Here’s a quick recipe that uses these two magnificent ingredients:

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Butter
  • 4 Sprigs of Rosemary, 2 sprigs minced, 2 whole
  • 4 Sprigs of Dill, 2 sprigs minced, 2 whole
  • 3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Capers, patted dry
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat broiler to 450º F. 
  2. Salt and Pepper fillets on all sides very generously. Slice half of the lemon in to 1/8” circular slices.
  3. Heat on high on the stovetop. Add butter, minced garlic, minced rosemary, and minced dill. When garlic, rosemary, and dill become crispy and almost black, squeeze some lemon juice into the pan.
  4. Add the Halibut and with a spoon, some pour butter mixture on top. Once the halibut creates a crispy crust on bottom (about 3 minutes), add in the capers, 2 sprigs of rosemary, 2 sprigs of dill, and lemon slices. 
  5. Wait about 30 seconds and put into the broiler. Take out when just cooked through (about 2-3 minutes). 
  6. Plate with lemon slices, capers, rosemary, dill and squeeze some lemon juice on top. Enjoy!
