to taste
1. Marinate the Halibut
In a large sealable plastic bag, whisk together 6 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 small minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of dried basil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Add the halibut fillets to the bag, making sure they are well-coated with the marinade. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
2. Sear the Halibut
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large flat skillet over medium-high heat. Place the marinated halibut fillets in the skillet, and sear for about 3 minutes on one side without moving them. Flip carefully and sear for another 3 minutes on the other side.
3. Finish Cooking the Halibut
Reduce the heat to medium, and continue to cook the halibut for an additional 2 to 4 minutes on each side, depending on thickness. Baste the fillets with the leftover marinade during cooking.
4. Serve the Halibut
Once the halibut is cooked through, with a flaky and opaque texture, remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot.
