  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Fish

  • 1 pound halibut fillets (4 fillets)

Egg Mixture

  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup milk

Breading

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika

Finishing

  • Drizzle olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 415°F to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for baking the halibut.
  2. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together 1 egg and ¼ cup of milk until well combined. This mixture will help the breadcrumb coating stick to the fish.
  3. Prepare Breading Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs, ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning, and ¼ teaspoon paprika. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasonings.
  4. Coat the Fish: Dip each halibut fillet into the egg and milk mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Then press the fillets into the panko and Parmesan mixture, making sure to cover all sides with the breadcrumb coating.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated halibut fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking and aid in easy cleanup.
  6. Add Olive Oil: Drizzle a little olive oil over the top of each coated fillet. This helps achieve a golden and crispy crust during baking.
  7. Bake the Fish: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the halibut at 415°F for 10 to 15 minutes. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork in the center and is opaque, losing its raw translucent appearance.

Notes

  • Ensure the oven is fully preheated to 415°F before baking for even cooking.
  • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the fish from sticking and to simplify cleanup.
  • Halibut fillets vary in size, so adjust cooking time as needed. Test doneness by gently flaking the center with a fork; the fish should flake easily and be opaque inside.
  • Use a digital thermometer to confirm the internal temperature of the fish reaches 145°F for food safety.
  • If your halibut has skin, leave it on while baking. After cooking, use a spatula to separate the skin from the fillet easily.
