  1. Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.

  3. Add the halibut fillets to the hot pan and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. While the halibut cooks, prepare the blood orange and fennel salad: Thinly slice 1 blood orange and finely chop 1/2 cup of fennel bulb.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine the blood orange slices, fennel, lemon zest from 1 lemon, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  6. Once the halibut is cooked, gently place it on a serving plate and top with the blood orange and fennel salad.
  7. Garnish with fresh fennel fronds (optional) and serve immediately. Enjoy!
