,

Perfect fish Recipe – works for any firmer/thick piece of fish.

Preheat oven to 400

  •  1 inch thick or thicker firm fish (halibut, cod, salmon, mahi)

  • Olive oil

  • Old bay or lemon pepper

 Cut fish into serving size pieces

Remove skin (can leave for salmon if you like it), rub with oil, liberally sprinkle on seasoning

On your stove, heat cast iron or stainless pan to med-high.  Once hot, put the fish in face down (the side you want to present on the plate goes down) Cook for 3 or 4 minutes until it forms a crust and releases from the pan (the fish will be about ¼ cooked) Flip the fish and put the pan in the oven for 10 minutes.  (if you have larger pieces or thicker than an inch or so, add 5 minutes to the oven time)
