Blackened Halibut Salad

Halibut is one of the great fishes of Alaska. I am no fisherwoman... but my friend Melissa's family is big into fishing, so she was kind enough to bring me some yummy Halibut.
We have been having a lot of salads lately, so I thought this could be a good way to re-mix a salad.
While shopping we found some local Alaskan Blackened Halibut Seasoning (Talkeetna) not sure if you can buy it online, but just using your favorite blackening season and you'll do great. This one is perfect because it had a great kick to it that isn't too overwhelming for Ryan's pallet.



We used a grill pan... well Ryan used a grill pan.
Put some oil in it... get it as hot as possible. 
Generally you don't need to cook halibut too long.... 
There is a fine line between done and over done.
Sear the first side for about 5 minutes, turn over sear the other side.

When fish is done, chop into bite-sized pieces and let cool for a few minutes.
