Pan-Seared Halibut with Clamshell Mushrooms and Lemon Butter: A Delicious Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.25 cup clamshell mushrooms, or more to taste
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 (7 ounce) halibut fillets
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
• 0.25 cup water
• 0.5 lemon, juiced
• 1.5 tablespoons butter, room temperature but not soft
• 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf Italian parsley

Instructions

1. Heat oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and foamy. Add mushrooms and a pinch of salt; sauté in the hot butter and oil until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes. Move the mushrooms to the side of the pan to create space in the center.
2. Season the halibut fillets on both sides with salt and cayenne pepper. Place the halibut fillets in the center of the hot skillet and cook until they begin to flake, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Move the cooked halibut to a serving plate to keep warm.
3. Pour water into the pan and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a spoon. Reduce the water by half, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes. Add lemon juice into the mushroom mixture and stir to combine.
4. Stir in the remaining butter and parsley into the mushroom mixture. Stir constantly until the butter is melted and a sauce is formed. Remove the pan from the heat and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Spoon the mushroom sauce over the halibut fillets to serve.
