Pan seared Halibut with buerre blanc sauce

Nothing better than a weekend trip to the Oregon Coast. It usually means a fresh fish night back home. Even on a long work day this is an easy quick fix. Even the decadent buerre blanc sauce. Its a white wine reduction with emulsified butter, dill and lemon. So tasty on fish.

1 lb fresh halibut. Cut filets before cooking. I learned this the hard way. My filets are not clean cut.
