    Ingredients

    • 4 halibut fillets
    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup chicken broth
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
    • Salt and pepper, to taste

    Method

    • Step-by-step method: Halibut with Creamy Dill Sauce
    • Pat halibut fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper
    • Prepare a skillet or sauté pan and place over medium heat
    • Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan, letting it melt and heat until foaming
    • Gently place halibut fillets into the pan; cook until golden and opaque at edges (about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on thickness)
    • Remove cooked halibut to a plate and tent loosely with foil to keep warm
    • In a separate saucepan, melt remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat
    • Whisk in the flour, stirring constantly, to form a smooth roux; cook 1 minute to remove raw taste
    • Gradually whisk in chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form
    • Continue whisking as the mixture simmers and thickens (about 2-3 minutes)
    • Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to create a silky, cohesive sauce
    • Stir in chopped fresh dill; season with salt and pepper to taste
    • Simmer sauce gently for an additional minute to meld flavors, stirring occasionally
    • Plate each halibut fillet on a warm plate
    • Spoon creamy dill sauce generously over each fillet
    • Garnish with a pinch of fresh dill on top for aroma and visual appeal
    • Serve immediately, optionally accompanied by simple sides such as steamed potatoes or seasonal vegetables
