2. Grease Trays: Lightly wipe the bottom of each tray with olive oil to prevent sticking.

3. Arrange Fillets: Place the halibut fillets in the prepared trays, ensuring they are positioned ugly side up (skin side, even if the skin is removed).

4. Prepare Herb Butter: In a small bowl, mix the butter with the chopped tarragon and dill until thoroughly combined.

5. Add Butter: Place 1 tablespoon of the herb butter on top of each halibut fillet, spreading it evenly.

6. Broil: Place the trays under the broiler or on the grill and broil the halibut fillets for 4 minutes.

7. Turn: Carefully turn each fillet over, ensuring not to spill any of the melted herb butter, and continue to broil for an additional 4 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

8. Plate: Remove the halibut fillets from the heat and transfer them to serving plates. Pour any remaining melted herb butter from the trays over the fillets.

9. Serve: Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious Easy Halibut Fillets with Herb Butter!
