Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) halibut fillets
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons, minced fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon, minced fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon, minced fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces (for serving) lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a medium bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, parsley, dill, thyme, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Stir well until the mixture is evenly coated with the oil and slightly sticky.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels, then place them on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if the fillets have skin.
Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard evenly on the top of each halibut fillet.
Gently press the herb and breadcrumb mixture onto the Dijon-coated side of each fillet, creating an even crust.
Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown. If desired, broil for 1-2 minutes to further crisp the topping.
Remove the fillets from the oven and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the herb-crusted halibut with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Enjoy!
