Gigha Halibut in a Lemon, Lime and Chive Butter

The community-owned Gigha Hotel has a great working relationship with Gigha Halibut and provide locals and visitors alike with delicious, fresh halibut all the year round.  Libby Donaldson, Head Chef, has given us this recipe for her favourite way of serving the local halibut.

Gigha Halibut in a Lemon, Lime and Chive Butter

Melt around 2oz of butter in a frying pan.

Dip Halibut fillets into PLAIN flour.

Once Butter has melted dip the halibut fillets in ensuring totally coating the halibut so that no flour is left exposed.

Squeeze a quarter of a lemon and a quarter of a lime  over each piece of Halibut and add these to the frying pan.

Put under a hot grill for approximately 5 minutes.

Bring out and sprinkle with freshly cut chives and grill for a further 5-10 minutes depending on the thickness of the halibut.

Once removed from the pan pour the remaining butter over the halibut and enjoy with new boiled baby potatoes and fresh vegetables.
