Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Halibut fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place a wire rack on top of a baking sheet. Lightly grease the rack with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Set up a dredging station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, add the flour. In the second dish, whisk together the eggs and water. In the third dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, garlic powder, and paprika.
Dip each halibut fillet into the flour, coating it lightly and shaking off any excess. Next, dip the fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated. Finally, press the fillet into the breadcrumb mixture, covering it completely and gently pressing the crumbs onto the fish.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the halibut fillets, cooking them for 2 minutes on each side or until the crust is golden and crispy.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the halibut is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fillets from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve the Crispy Crusty Halibut with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.
