Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Halibut fillets
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces (minced) Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh basil leaves
- 1 piece (zested and juiced) Lemon
- 0.25 cup White wine
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Grease a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring the bottom is evenly coated.
Arrange the halibut fillets in a single layer in the baking dish. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and black pepper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, chopped parsley, basil, lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix well to coat the tomatoes.
Pour the tomato mixture evenly over the halibut fillets in the baking dish.
Drizzle lemon juice and white wine over the fish and tomatoes. For a hint of spice, sprinkle red pepper flakes, if desired.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap steam and keep the fish moist during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the halibut is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and carefully discard the foil.
Serve the Italian Baked Halibut with the cooked tomato mixture spooned over the top. Garnish with additional fresh parsley or basil, if desired.
