1. Thaw Halibut<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To thaw, remove product from original packaging, place in a resealable bag, and thaw in refrigerator for at least 7 hours. To thaw faster, remove product from original packaging, place in a resealable bag, and submerge bag in cold water for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Cook and consume within 2 days.<\/p>\n

2. Preheat Pan to Medium Heat<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Preheat 1 teaspoon of cooking oil per halibut fillet in your skillet over medium heat.<\/p>\n

3. Prep and Season Halibut<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Lightly brush each fillet with melted butter or oil and season with your favorite seafood seasoning, like Omaha Steaks Signature Seafood Seasoning.<\/a>\u00a0Adding a splash of lemon with some salt and pepper to your seasoning is a simple and great touch.<\/p>\n

4. Pan-Sear Halibut<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Once your pan is hot, place each fillet into the skillet and cook 5-6 minutes on one side, then carefully flip and cook 4-5 minutes on the other side. You\u2019ll know your fish is ready when it\u2019s opaque throughout and reaches an internal temperature of 145\u00b0F. Rest 2-3 minutes and enjoy.<\/p>\n
