Remove the halloumi from its packaging and drain off any excess water. Use a sharp knife to slice the block into thick pieces. Slice each piece in half lengthwise.
Gently lay the pieces on a plate lined with kitchen paper and use a second sheet to pat the tops dry.
Heat the butter in a non-stick frying pan. Once the sizzling stops, gently place half the halloumi slices into the pan and fry until golden on all sides. Use a small silicon spatula to gently turn them over. Remove and place on a plate lined with kitchen paper and add the remaining pieces to the pan. (I work in batches to avoid crowding the pan, making the pieces more difficult to turn.)
Once the batch is done, season with sea salt flakes and serve with your choice of dip. You can search for a clean, keto tomato ketchup on this site or you can use reduced sugar ketchup off the shelf if you have no problem with that.
