Ingredients

  • One 8-ounce halibut fillet, about 3/4-inch thick
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2-3 tablespoons clarified butter or vegetable oil

Directions

  1. 1

    Put an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

  2. 2

    Pat the halibut dry with a paper towel. Spread the flour in 1 shallow dish, beat the egg with 2 tablespoons water in another, and put the Parmesan cheese in a third.

  3. 3

    Heat a medium oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter or oil and heat until hot but not smoking. Meanwhile, coat the halibut with flour, shaking off the excess; repeat with the egg mixture and Parmesan. Add the fish to the pan and cook until golden on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until slightly crispy, 4 to 5 minutes. Serve hot.
