Health benefits of Butter and Olive Oil-Basted California Halibut

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

8 oz. California halibut filet (or other thin white fish filet)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. Black pepper
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
1 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp. seedless chili flakes

Instructions

Season fish filets with salt and pepper and set aside.
Heat a 10 to 12 inch sauté pan over medium heat (slightly on the low side of medium) for 4 minutes to get warm.
Add the butter, olive oil, lemon zest and juice and the chili flakes to the pan.
When the butter is melted add the fish filets and cook about 4 minutes per side, or until the fish feels flaky when you gently push your finger against it. Larger filets will take longer and may need about 5 minutes of oven time at 450 degrees. Thin filets (1 inch or less) will easily finish on the stove top.
Place the fish on the serving plate and pour the remaining pan juices on top. See all recipes and cooking videos from Chef Donald Link.
