Ingredients
  

Halibut
  • 4 Halibut Fillets (approx. 6 oz each)
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
Coating
  • 1/4 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 2 Eggs large, beaten
  • 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
For Cooking & Garnish
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Shallow dishes (3)
  • Large non-stick skillet
  • Tongs or spatula

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat halibut fillets dry and season with salt and pepper. Prepare three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and a third with a mixture of panko, grated Parmesan, and minced garlic.
Coating
  1. Dredge each halibut fillet first in the flour, then dip in the egg, and finally press firmly into the panko-Parmesan mixture to ensure a complete coating.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the coated halibut fillets in the hot pan and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown, crispy, and the fish flakes easily.
Serving
  1. Remove the halibut from the skillet, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately with your chosen side dishes.

Notes

For an even crispier crust, consider baking the halibut after searing for a few minutes at 400°F (200°C) until fully cooked through.
