Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (approximately 6 ounces each) Halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice
- 3 tablespoons Orange juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, minced garlic, cumin powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the halibut fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the fillets are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Remove the halibut fillets from the marinade and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Discard any leftover marinade.
Scatter the cherry tomatoes and red onion slices around the fillets on the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the halibut is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature of the fish should reach 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Garnish the halibut with fresh chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
Enjoy your bright and zesty Halibut San Juan!
