Form a log
Lay the wax paper on a work surface and scrape the butter in the middle. Using a spatula, form the butter into a log about 6” x 2”. If the butter is too soft to hold its shape, refrigerate it for about 15 minutes to firm it. Roll the wax paper around the log, overlapping the paper several times. Twist the ends of the wax paper to secure the packet closed. Place the wax paper-wrapped log in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to chill.

Season the fish
Arrange the halibut fillets in a single layer on the June Roasting Rack set in the June Pan. Drizzle the fillets with the olive oil, then sprinkle them with the salt and pepper.
