Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (4-6 oz each) halibut fillet
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup cucumber, diced (optional, for garnish)
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. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried oregano, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over the halibut fillets.
Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is baking, prepare the Lemon Feta Yogurt Sauce. In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, crumbled feta cheese, fresh dill, fresh parsley, and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Stir well to combine.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings if needed. You can add a pinch of salt or a squeeze of lemon juice to suit your preference.
Once the halibut is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Plate each halibut fillet and spoon the Lemon Feta Yogurt Sauce generously over the top. Optionally, garnish with diced cucumber for added freshness and crunch.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, a Greek salad, or warm pita bread.
