- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 whole (juiced and zested) Lemon
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons 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 paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the olive oil mixture evenly over the halibut fillets, ensuring each fillet is well coated.
Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the halibut from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of sides such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
