Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir well to form an herb mixture.
Brush the herb mixture evenly over the top of each halibut fillet, ensuring a generous coating.
Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C).
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the fillets rest for 1-2 minutes.
Serve the halibut warm with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
