Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) halibut fillets
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup (grated) parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the panko breadcrumbs to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and lightly toasted.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and lemon zest.
Brush the tops of the halibut fillets with a thin layer of olive oil or lemon juice. Divide the breadcrumb mixture evenly over each fillet, pressing gently to form a crust.
Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The breadcrumb topping should be golden and crisp.
Remove the halibut from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Drizzle with lemon juice before serving, if desired.
Serve the Crummy Halibut immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
