Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 sliced lemon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the halibut fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush them generously with the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated.
Arrange the slices of lemon on top of the halibut fillets.
Let the halibut rest for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and allow to sit for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the baked halibut with additional lemon slices and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for garnish if desired.
