4 halibut fillets
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
In a bowl, combine lemon zest, dill, chives, parsley, chervil, and black pepper.
Sprinkle fillets with salt and then coat one side of each fillet with 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard.
Next, press the mustard-coated side into the lemon-herb mixture.
Add the vegetable oil to a skillet over medium-heat.
Place fillets, coated side down, into the hot oil.

Flip and cook for another 3 minutes, until fish flakes easily when scraped with a knife.
