<human>:  What's the best way to cook a halibut steak?
<bot>: The best way to cook a halibut steak is to season it generously with salt and pepper, then sear it in a hot pan with a bit of vegetable oil or butter for 2-3 minutes per side, until it is cooked through. If desired, you can finish it off in the oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes.
