Garlicky Pacific Halibut Bites in Smoky, Herby Oil

February 27th, 2023

A 15-Minute Meal Bursting with Flavor

In under 15 minutes, this easy recipe transforms meaty Pacific halibut into a one-pan seafood meal. The rich, spiced flavor of Spanish paprika and a mountain of sauteed garlic bring big taste to bite-sized morsels of this mild white fish. Make sure to serve this dish with crusty bread on the side — it’ll help you soak up the herby, smoky, garlic-infused olive oil from the pan.   

Pro tip: Try using pre-cut Pacific Halibut Quick Cuts to cut down on prep time.
