Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Halibut fillets
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, Panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, garlic powder, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
Brush the top of each halibut fillet with a thin layer of olive oil to help the crust adhere.
Spoon the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture onto the top of each fillet, pressing gently to create an even crust.
Place the halibut fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small amount of space between each piece.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The crust should be golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the fillets rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over the top.
