Parmesan Halibut Steak #Recipe by Maya Corrigan #giveaway

In early spring I start looking in my supermarket for my favorite fish, fresh Alaskan halibut. If you like fish and aren't familiar with Alaskan halibut, give it a try. This recipe is an easy way to prepare halibut or any other firm fish, including swordfish, mahi mahi, or grouper.

I never cared for fish when I was growing up, but now with many more types of fish available, I eat it a couple of times a week. Alaskan halibut is my favorite. And, if you eat fish during Lent, it's plentiful at the perfect time.

Ingredients

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoon flour
4 halibut steaks (each 4 to 6 ounces), fresh or thawed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh, chopped parsley

Mix the cheese and the flour together and spread the mixture out on a plate or wax paper. Using tongs, dip the halibut stakes in the mixture to coat them evenly on both sides.

Heat the olive oil in a large heavy pan until it is hot enough that a droplet of water sizzles in it. Sauté the fish steaks in the oil for approximately 10 minutes per inch of thickness, turning them halfway through so that both sides are golden brown. Cook until the fish flakes when a fork or knife is inserted in it. Take care not to overcook.

Remove the fish from the pan as soon as it’s done and transfer it to a platter.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve it with lemon wedges.

Serves 4.
