Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) Halibut fillets
- 1 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Season each fillet with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a medium bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, mayonnaise, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until a paste-like consistency forms.
Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, evenly spread the Parmesan mixture over the top of each halibut fillet, pressing gently to adhere.
Drizzle the olive oil lightly over the coated fillets to help them achieve a crispy, golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the halibut is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The topping should be golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the halibut rest for 2 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a crisp green salad.
