Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Halibut fillets
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh dill
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the halibut fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon zest, chopped parsley, chopped dill, ground black pepper, and paprika.
Place the halibut fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
Brush the herb and oil mixture evenly over each fillet.
Thinly slice the lemon and place a couple of slices on top of each fillet.
Cover the baking sheet with foil, sealing the edges to create a tent over the fish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork at the thickest part.
Remove the foil in the last 5 minutes of cooking to allow the top to lightly brown.
Serve the halibut hot with your choice of side, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
