Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the halibut fillets and sear undisturbed for 4 minutes, until the underside is opaque and golden at the edges. Flip and cook for 3–4 minutes more, until the fish reaches 145°F (63°C) on an instant-read thermometer and flakes easily when pressed gently at the thickest part. Transfer to a plate and tent loosely with foil.
