Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Alaskan halibut fillets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional)
- 4 pieces (for garnish) Lemon slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using).
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
Place the halibut fillets into the prepared baking dish and spoon the lemon garlic marinade over the top, ensuring each fillet is well coated.
Add a small pat of butter (about 1/2 tablespoon) on top of each fillet for added richness.
Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the halibut bakes, chop the fresh parsley and set it aside for garnish.
Once the halibut is cooked through, remove the dish from the oven and garnish with parsley and a slice of lemon on each fillet.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a light green salad.
