Directions

For the fish

Thaw fish in fridge before using. Take fish from package and pat dry with a paper towel. Set aside.
Prepare halibut seasoning by mixing all seasoning ingredients together in a small bowl.
Cover each side of halibut generously with seasoning. Sear both sides of halibut in a hot pan with oil about 3-5 minutes on each side until done. You can tell fish is done if it flakes easily and is white throughout.

For the salsa

Add all ingredients from cucumber salsa list and mix in a bowl.
