Instructions

1
Brush halibut fillets with olive oil on both sides, then liberally season them with 1 teaspoon of each salt and pepper on both sides.
2
Allow fillets to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes. While fish sit, make the Chermoula. Combine cumin, coriander, parsley, cilantro, garlic, smoked paprika, lime juice, jalapeño and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
3
Pour herb mixture in a bowl and slowly drizzle in olive oil. You are not looking to form an emulsion so just gently stir olive oil in herbs until you have a loose sauce. Set aside for topping the fish. (The Chermoula can be made a day ahead and refrigerated to allow flavors to really set up).
4
Place a non-stick pan on stove over medium-high heat. Sear halibut for about 4-5 minutes per side. (Adjust heat as necessary to not over brown or burn fish). Cook fish until internal temp reaches 145˚F.
5
Remove fish from pan once cooked and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Top each fillet with a generous drizzle of chermoula, season to taste as needed. This dish goes great with roasted broccolini.
