Dairy Free Paleo Halibut with Herb Sauce

Flaky, golden-seared halibut meets a bright, herb-packed sauce in a dish that feels restaurant-worthy but comes together in a single skillet. The fish gets patted dry and cooked in avocado oil over medium-high heat until it releases cleanly from the pan with a deep, caramelized crust — a technique that makes all the difference between good fish and great fish. While the halibut rests, the herb sauce of parsley, basil, chives, olive oil, lemon juice, and zest is already waiting at room temperature, ready to spoon on generously the moment the fillets hit the plate. Optional capers and red pepper flakes add a briny, subtle kick if you want to take the flavor up a notch. Because every ingredient here is naturally free of dairy, there's no need to swap anything out or second-guess a label — the recipe just works as written. It's the kind of clean, vibrant weeknight dinner that proves you don't need butter or cream to make something genuinely luxurious.
