Seared Halibut with Couscous

Searing is done over high heat and works best in an uncoated fry pan, such as cast iron or stainless steel. Manufacturers of nonstick pans generally advise against cooking over high heat. If you use a nonstick pan, keep the heat level at medium-high, cook for a few minutes more than directed in the recipe and don’t expect as much of a seared effect.
