Steps
- 1
Pat halibut dry. Brush with olive oil. Season with lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
- 2
Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes until fish is opaque and flakes easily (145°F).
- 3
While fish cooks, melt butter in a small pan. Add garlic and capers, cook 1 minute.
- 4
Remove from heat, add parsley, dill, and lemon juice.
- 5
Spoon herb-caper butter over halibut and serve.
Tip: Halibut is a premium fish — don't overcook it. It should be just opaque in the center. The caper-herb butter adds briny, herby richness that complements the mild fish beautifully. Buy thick fillets (1 inch+) for the best results.
