Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce pieces Halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the halibut fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Place the halibut fillets in a shallow baking dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Squeeze the juice of one lemon into the olive oil mixture, reserving the lemon halves.
Pour the olive oil mixture evenly over the halibut fillets.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and dill and sprinkle them over the fish.
Slice the reserved lemon halves into thin slices and arrange them over the halibut.
Scatter the cherry tomatoes around the fillets in the baking dish.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to keep the fish moist during cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the halibut flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the baked halibut warm, adorned with cooked lemon slices and cherry tomatoes.
