Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Halibut fillets
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Cracked black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the halibut fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Slice the lemon into thin rounds and set aside.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, salt, and cracked black pepper.
Place the halibut fillets in a baking dish large enough to sit comfortably without overlapping.
Drizzle the olive oil and herb mixture evenly over each fillet, making sure to coat them thoroughly.
Place two to three lemon slices on each fillet. The remaining lemon slices can be scattered around the dish.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil to keep the moisture in, ensuring the fish remains tender.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.
Remove the fish from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the baked halibut immediately, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
