How To Season Halibut

I'm going to show you how to season halibut. I've got a three to four-ounce piece of fish, which I've skinned down. Then, I'm going to season it with some salt and pepper.

Now, salt and pepper is probably the most common way of seasoning any meat or fish. I'm going to show you different ways of how to season it. So, if you are salt intolerant or just didn't want to do salt and pepper, then any kind of spice that takes your fancy - I've got some basil that I'm going to add to my fish today.

Again, it's all about personal taste. I've got some herb de prevence, which is a mixed herb as well. Add it to my fish as well.

Now, seasoning doesn't have to be literally just adding salt and pepper. It's all about the overusing as well because it's all about flair, as well. You season it to add flavor so when you're cooking your fish, thinking your olive oil, thinking your butter, so there's a lot of different things that you can take on board.

So, I'm going to cook my fish with some olive oil and some butter. So, again, it's all part of the seasoning process. Today, I've done the salt and pepper and I put herbs on my fish and I've got some cooked shallots that I'll add in the pan to give it some intense flavor as well.

So, I don't need to add too much salt because there's quite a bit of salt in the shallots as well. Normally, I will season fish at the end more because in the early stages of seasoning the fish, it takes out and withdraws a lot of moisture from the fish. So, just enough to get it going, then right in the end, add the season; right in the end, squeeze of lemon juice, some lime, or some skin even, from the lime or lemon to give it some more in-depth flavor.

And that's how I season my fish. .
