Prep and cook the fish

  • Pat the fish dry with a paper towel; season lightly with salt and pepper.

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking.

Salmon and snapper:

Add the fish, skin side down, and cook until lightly browned and the skin is crisp, 4 to 5 minutes for salmon, 3 to 5 minutes for snapper. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 2 to 4 minutes.

Halibut: 

Add the halibut and cook until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 2 to 4 minutes. 

While the fish is cooking, make the Brussels sprout salad.
