Ingredients

Scale

Fish

  • 4 halibut fillets (6 oz each)

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

Garnish

  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the halibut evenly.
  2. Prepare the Crust Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the grated parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, melted butter, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly blended to create a flavorful crust mixture.
  3. Arrange Fillets: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the four halibut fillets on it, spaced evenly to allow for proper heat circulation while baking.
  4. Apply the Crust: Press the prepared parmesan mixture firmly onto the top of each halibut fillet, covering the surface evenly to form a crust that will bake into a golden topping.
  5. Bake the Fish: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the halibut for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork and the crust is golden brown.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the fillets from the oven and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top for a fresh, vibrant garnish before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overcook the halibut to keep it moist and tender.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed nuts.
  • Use fresh grated parmesan for the best flavor and melting capability.
  • Variations: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the crust mixture for a hint of heat.
  • Serve with lemon wedges on the side for extra citrus brightness.
