halibut fillets into the lemon-herb mixture. In a skillet, preferably non-stick, heat the vegetable oil. Place
fillets, coated side down, into the hot oil. Cook until the crust turns golden, 3 to 3 1/2 minutes. Flip and
continue to cook until the fish flakes easily, 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl toss the arugula with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and season with the remaining
