Heat olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium-low heat.

Add sliced garlic to the hot oil and cook until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.

Remove the garlic with a slotted spoon onto a paper-towel-lined plate and season with salt.

Add sage leaves to the hot oil in batches and fry until just crisp.

Remove the fried sage leaves with a slotted spoon and place on the paper-towel-lined plate and season with salt.

Reserve the garlic-and-sage-infused oil.

Brush the halibut fillets with the reserved garlic-and-sage-scented olive oil.

Heat a grill pan to medium-high heat.

Grill each side of the fish for 3-5 minutes, or until cooked through.

Season the grilled halibut with salt and pepper.

Remove from the grill and top with the reserved fried garlic and sage chips.

Serve immediately.
