Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 ounces each) halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped dill
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 unit (as needed) nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat a grill pan on the stove over medium-high heat.
Rinse the halibut fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of the fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
In a small bowl, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, breadcrumbs, parsley, dill, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Drizzle the mixture with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and stir until the mixture is evenly moistened.
Lightly grease the grill or grill pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the halibut fillets on the grill (skin-side down if they have skin). Let them cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until they are just cooked through and opaque in the center.
Carefully transfer the fillets to a baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.
Evenly spread the prepared lemon herb crust mixture over the top of each halibut fillet.
Place the crusted fillets under a broiler set to high. Broil for 2-3 minutes or until the crust is golden and crisp. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Remove the fillets from the broiler and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled halibut with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad. Garnish with extra parsley or lemon wedges if desired.
