This evening I made a quick and simple dinner. I picked up some wild Pacific halibut this weekend at Costco and decided to pan sear it and keep it super simple and fresh. I heated a medium skillet with a tablespoon or two of olive oil on medium-high and placed 2 halibut fillets (seasoned on both sides with freshly ground black pepper and pink Himalayan salt) in the pan and cooked on each side for 3 minutes and then transferred to a plate and covered immediately with foil to gently complete the cooking all the way to the center of the 1-inch fillets. After removing the halibut, I added about 3 tablespoons of Kerrygold's Garlic & Herb Butter to the skillet (keeping the heat on medium) and then added about 2 teaspoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of finely grated lemon zest to the skillet and gently swirled it around until the butter was melted; then added 2-3 tablespoons of capers to the lemon garlic butter and cooked just until heated (about 1 minute). I plated the halibut and then spooned the lemon garlic herb butter with capers over the top and lightly grated a bit more lemon zest over the top. I served our meal with fresh steamed broccoli and Yellow Squash Casserole left from last night's dinner. Total prep and cook time for this evening's dinner was about 20 minutes (maybe less). I snapped a couple photos for you to see below. Enjoy!
These are the ramblings of a self-described wheat, grain and gluten-free “gourmet girl” that loves to cook and eat good food. I love creating and sharing recipes and photographing “beautiful food”. In July 2012, I eliminated wheat, grains and added sugar from my diet and rediscovered real, whole fresh foods again and effortlessly lost 65+ pounds. Join me in my wheat, grain and gluten-free journey. See how easy it is to enjoy grain free gourmet, one meal at a time! Welcome to my blog. Enjoy!

Such effortless meals, anyone can eat the healthy way! Looks great.
Thanks, Sami! :-)
Lemon, capers and butter! That's my thing! :) looks great!
GG - I keep forgetting to ask you where you get your KerriGold seasoned butter? I've found the KerriGold butter plain - but not with the garlic & herb.
Hi SierraDeb -- I find it locally at my Publix. I have also found it at Whole Foods, too. Don't find it at the Krogers that are near me. I wonder if your grocery store would carry it if you asked them to...some will. They are sold in individual sticks. It is just handy to keep on hand because you can season and butter in one swoop! :-)
Thanks, Patricia! It's about as simple as it gets! :-)
