Ingredients
- 2 (8-ounce) Pacific Halibut Steaks
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch of paprika
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 eggs
Instructions
1. Preheat a large oven-proof pan in a 400F oven.
2. Meanwhile, liberally season the halibut steaks with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle both sides with a pinch of paprika.
3. When sufficiently preheated, remove pan from oven and add butter. Carefully add steak to pan and spoon some melted butter over the tops. Return pan to oven and allow to cook for 3 minutes.
4. Carefully slide the pan out to flip the steak — the handle will be hot! — and crack a couple of eggs alongside the fish. Season the eggs to taste, then reset the timer to another 2 minutes for steaks that are less than an inch thick, or 3 minutes for thicker cuts.
5. Check on the doneness of the halibut steak after the timer goes off. Fish is medium-done when internal temperature reaches 130F at its thickest part on an instant-read thermometer, or when it flakes easily with a fork. Add an extra minute or two of cook time if needed. If the halibut steak is finished but the eggs are not quite set, simply transfer the fish to a plate and allow the eggs to cook to desired doneness. Serve immediately.
Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of food-borne illness, especially if you have a certain medical condition. The FDA recommends an internal temperature of 145°F for cooked fish.
