Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-ounce each) Halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with a small amount of olive oil.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the mixture generously over the top and sides of each halibut fillet, coating them evenly.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and broil for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the halibut is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The top should be golden and lightly crisped.
Remove the halibut from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with optional lemon wedges on the side for added brightness.
