Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce portions Halibut fillets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole (zested and juiced) Lemon
- 1 whole (zested and juiced) Orange
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 cup (halved) Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium (thinly sliced) Red onion
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish.
Place the halibut fillets on the prepared baking sheet or dish, ensuring they are spaced slightly apart.
In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice, lemon zest, orange zest, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk together until well blended.
Pour the citrus mixture evenly over the halibut fillets, making sure they are coated thoroughly.
Scatter cherry tomatoes and sliced red onions around the fillets on the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the halibut flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.
Remove the baking sheet or dish from the oven, and let the fish rest for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish the fillets with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the Citrus Baked Halibut alongside the roasted tomatoes and onions. Pair with a simple green salad or steamed rice for a complete meal.
