Ingredients
For the Halibut
- 4 halibut fillets (6 oz each)
For the Garlic Parmesan Crust
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
For Garnish
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the halibut.
- Prepare the Parmesan Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the grated parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, melted butter, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a cohesive crust mixture.
- Arrange Fillets: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the halibut fillets on it, skin side down if skin is on, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
- Apply Crust: Press the parmesan breadcrumb mixture firmly onto the top of each halibut fillet, covering them evenly to form a thick, flavorful crust.
- Bake the Halibut: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle chopped parsley over the fillets for a fresh finish. Serve immediately with desired sides.
Notes
- Use fresh halibut fillets for the best texture and flavor.
- Adjust the baking time depending on the thickness of your fillets; thicker pieces may require a few extra minutes.
- This dish pairs excellently with roasted vegetables or a crisp fresh salad for a complete meal.
