Add the halibut, cover and refrigerate ot least 2 hours and up to 6. Turn occasionally to evenly marinate fish.

Add the halibut one fillet at a time, allowing the pat to reheat for a few seconds after each addition, and cook until well seared and brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side per ince of thickness of halibut. Remove to warm plates.
