  • Check the fish for bones and remove any. Brush a thin layer of melted butter over both sides of each halibut fillet. Pour any leftover melted butter into a jar and combine with the soya sauce, lemon juice, honey, ginger and wasabi paste. Shake well until emulsified. If you don’t have a jar, combine the ingredients in a bowl and gently mix with a whisk.
  • Heat a non-stick frying pan until hot. Add a little knob of butter then sear the fish over medium-high heat, skin side up, for about a minute until light golden, then gently turn the fillets over so the skin is facing down.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low then gradually pour the mixture from the jar. Or, preferably, brush the mixture over the fish.
  • Then cook for 2-3 minutes more for the individual fillets or about 5 minutes if preparing one large fillet.
  • Transfer carefully to warmed plates and garnish with whichever chopped soft herbs you prefer.
