How to Make Spicy Halibut

  1. Preheat your broiler to high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference).
  3. Place halibut steaks (about 1 inch thick) on a nonstick broiler pan or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Brush melted butter evenly over the top of each halibut steak.
  5. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the spice mixture evenly over the buttered surface of each steak.
  6. Broil for 10-12 minutes, or until the halibut is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your halibut; thicker steaks will require longer broiling time.
  7. Remove from broiler and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs (optional).
  8. Store any leftover spice mixture in an airtight container for future use.
