Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Halibut fillets
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and place them in the prepared baking dish.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the garlic butter sauce evenly over the halibut fillets, ensuring that all fillets are well coated.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley and paprika (if using) over the fillets for flavor and color.
Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the halibut from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Plate the halibut and spoon any remaining garlic butter sauce from the baking dish over the top. Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as rice, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
