Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) halibut fillet (or fish of choice)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position the oven rack 6-8 inches from the heat source.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with a small amount of olive oil or cooking spray.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, dill, chives, salt, and black pepper. Stir together to create the herb mixture.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet skin-side down (or flat if skinless).
Brush the herbed olive oil mixture generously over the top of each fillet, making sure to evenly coat the surface.
Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and broil the halibut for 6-8 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The broiling time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the fish rest for 2 minutes.
Serve the broiled halibut immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness. Pair with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables or a light salad.
