Directions
-
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil and sear the halibut for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove fish from the pan and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms, sliced onion, and celery leaves. Sauté until the mushrooms are browned and the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Stir in thyme, bay leaves, onion powder, and celery seed. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn pink and opaque.
-
Return the halibut to the skillet, nestling it into the vegetable mixture. Spoon the sauce over the fish.
-
Cover and simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, or until the halibut is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
-
Remove bay leaves before serving. Serve immediately, spooning the mushroom and shrimp sauce over the fish.
