Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse and pat dry the halibut fillets with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Place the halibut fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the olive oil mixture over each fillet, ensuring they are well coated.
Slice the lemon in half. Thinly slice one half and juice the other half.
Lay the lemon slices over the fillets.
Strip the leaves off the rosemary and thyme sprigs, then distribute them evenly over the lemon-topped fillets.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and scatter them around the halibut on the baking sheet.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the tomatoes and fish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the halibut is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately with your choice of side, such as steamed vegetables or a green salad.
