Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and season them on both sides with the salt and black pepper. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.
Spread the mayonnaise mixture generously over the top of each halibut fillet, making sure to cover the surface evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and olive oil. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated and slightly moist. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture on top of the mayonnaise spread.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the halibut is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The topping should be golden brown and slightly crispy.
If desired, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes to give the topping an extra crisp texture. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the halibut from the oven and let it rest for a minute. Garnish with fresh parsley, if using, before serving.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
