Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Halibut fillets
- 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 4 pieces Orange slices (optional for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the halibut fillets in a single layer.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, honey, and minced garlic. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry. Gradually stir the slurry into the saucepan, whisking constantly until the glaze thickens slightly, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the glaze from the heat and set aside.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels, then drizzle them with olive oil. Sprinkle both sides with salt and black pepper.
Place the halibut fillets in the prepared baking dish skin side down. Brush a generous amount of the orange glaze over each fillet, reserving some glaze for later.
Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. For a caramelized finish, broil the fish for an additional 2 minutes while keeping an eye on it to prevent burning.
Remove the fish from the oven and brush with the remaining glaze. Let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Transfer the halibut fillets to serving plates. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with orange slices on the side, if desired.
