Chef Michael Kramer, who helms the Nuevo-Italian spot Jianna in Greenville, South Carolina, says the perfect piece of fish doesn’t need much else than a quick sear and a couple minutes in the oven. “Next to an egg, seafood is the most delicate protein,” he says. “I don’t like a hard sear on a beautiful piece of halibut. Just get it golden.” Bonus Italian points: Chop the vegetables from agiardiniera mix and sprinkle over the top.
