Ingredients
- 4 6 oz. halibut fillets
- 2 Tbsp. Heinen's extra virgin olive oil
- 3 Tbsp. Heinen's butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 shallot, diced
- 1 tsp. Heinen's paprika

Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the paprika, oregano, basil, salt and pepper. Set aside.

- Add the butter and stir until it melts. Add the lemon juice and stir well.
- Pat the halibut dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Rub each fillet with the spice mixture.
- Place the halibut, skin-side-up, in the skillet. Sear the first side for 4-5 minutes.
- Flip and let the other side sear while spooning some of the butter-lemon sauce over top. Continue cooking until the fish is cooked through.
- Cook the frozen creamy risotto according to the package instructions. Stir in the cooked butternut squash.
- Serve the warm halibut on top of the butternut squash risotto and garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley.
