How to Make Beer Batter Halibut

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the beer, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  2. Gently fold in the chopped parsley and chopped green onions.
  3. Cut the halibut fillets into 4 portions.
  4. Dip each halibut fillet into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
  5. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a small piece of batter sizzles immediately upon contact.
  6. Carefully place the battered halibut fillets in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  7. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the batter is golden brown and the halibut is cooked through. The internal temperature of the fish should reach 145°F (63°C).
  8. Remove the halibut from the skillet and place it on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy! Consider pairing with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and your favorite sides.
