Pan Seared Halibut With Fresh Tomato Sauce Recipes

PAN SEARED HALIBUT WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Pat the fish dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a sauté pan over medium heat, add the oil; when hot add the fish. Cook until just cooked through, turning once (my halibut was about 1 inch thick, I cooked it for about 3 minutes per side). After you turn the fish, while it cooks on the other side; add the prosciutto to the pan. Stir it around a bit, once the fish is ready, remove it to a plate and add the cut tomatoes to the pan. Cook, stirring until the tomatoes start to break down. Add a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper; then stir in the basil along with the cold butter. Stir until the butter has melted, add the fish back into the pan to warm slightly, then plate on a warm plate, spooning the sauce over the fish.
