Halibut with Chipotle-lime butter

Oh my gosh i have not enjoyed eating fish as much as i did in this meal....the fish was so flavorful and its such a beautiful dish the photo does not do it Justis. I got this recipe out of my newest cookbook its called Not your mom's weeknight cooking. This book is amazing, the meals are simple but gourmet i love it!




Chipotle-lime butter
1 small garlic clove
zest from 1 lime
2 small chipotle peppers in adobo sauce seeded
1 tbsp fresh cilantro
1/4 c butter unsalted
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp honey
1/2 tsp salt

4 halibut filets between 6-8 oz
salt and black pepper
2 tbsp evoo

Preheat oven to 400f
In food processor or magic bullet chop garlic salt lime zest. Add chiles, cilantro, softened butter, lime juice, honey and chop in magic bullet to combine. Set aside.
Season fish with salt and pepper on both sides. (i removed the skin prior to cooking)
Heat oven proof pan with 2 tbsp evoo, place two pieces of fish in the hot oil until nice and golden brown about 3 minutes. Cook other two filets same way. Flip over and divide chipotle butter between the four pieces of fish spreading the butter on top of the fish. Continue to cook in oven for 7 minutes or until fish looses its translucency
