How to Make Halibut In Spanish Garlic Shrimp Sauce

  1. Season halibut fillets (about 6 oz each) with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear halibut for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly golden brown.
  2. Remove halibut from skillet and set aside, keeping warm.
  3. Add 3 tablespoons olive oil, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1 bay leaf to the skillet.
  4. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, until garlic is fragrant and lightly golden.
  5. Add 1/2 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined) to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until pink and opaque.
  6. Pour in 1/4 cup dry sherry and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute, allowing the sauce to slightly reduce.
  7. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley.
  8. Divide the shrimp and sauce among the halibut fillets.
  9. Serve over a bed of fresh spinach (about 1 cup) and alongside a baked potato (optional).
