Skinnymazing Pan Fried Halibut
Usually when you make a fish recipe the word amazing isn’t attached to it. Maybe heart-healthy, good for you, even delicious. But this fish recipe is fabulous and healthy! I made this several times last week while creating it and every time my family ate it they loved it! I found fresh, wild halibut at my local supermarket. It’s at the peak of the season right now. If you can buy it that way, it was so worth the extra money. Pan-fried in heart-healthy olive oil, each serving has 231 calories and 10 grams of fat.

Skinnymazing Pan Fried Halibut
Ingredients
- 2 pieces fresh halibut (4 oz each) or frozen (I used fresh, wild halibut), see Food Fact
- 3 tablespoons regular bread crumbs (not Panko)
- ½ teaspoon seasoning salt, I like Lawry’s
- Fresh black pepper, to taste
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Lemon slices for serving, optional
Instructions
- Rinse fish and pat dry. Place bread crumbs on a plate and toss with seasoning salt and pepper. Dip each piece into bread crumbs and coat on both sides.
- Coat a nonstick pan with cooking spray. Heat oil in pan and add lemon juice. Place fish in pan, cover, and cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes. Turn over with spatula and cook until fish is flaky about 3-4 minutes. Keep an eye on it since the cook time depends on thickness of the fish. Remove with a spatula from pan.
- Serve with lemon slices on the side, if desired.
