Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce pieces halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large, zested and juiced lemon
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh dill
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 for garnish lemon slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, dill, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Place the halibut fillets in the baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated.
Let the fillets sit in the marinade for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Arrange a lemon slice on top of each fillet for garnish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the halibut flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a minute before serving.
Serve the halibut warm with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh salad.
