Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) halibut fillets
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces (for garnish) lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of each fillet with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is baking, prepare the herb butter. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, lemon juice, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and minced garlic until well combined.
Once the halibut is cooked, remove it from the oven and immediately top each fillet with a dollop of the herb butter. Let the butter melt over the hot fish.
Serve the halibut fillets hot, garnished with fresh lemon wedges. Optionally, pair with steamed vegetables, rice, or a side salad for a complete meal.
