👨‍🍳 Instructions

Whisk the orange juice, cilantro, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl; set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook the halibut cheeks until golden brown on each side, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Pour the orange juice mixture into the skillet and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the halibut flakes easily with a fork and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Remove halibut cheeks to a plate and drizzle with orange sauce to serve.
