Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Halibut fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Plain breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh tarragon, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter, melted
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
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 and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and toast them, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Transfer the toasted breadcrumbs to a small bowl. Add the chopped tarragon, lemon zest, minced garlic, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
Spoon the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of each halibut fillet, pressing gently so it adheres to the fish.
Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the breadcrumb-topped fillets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the halibut is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Transfer the fillets to serving plates.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if using, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for extra brightness.
