Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce pieces halibut fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup (chopped) fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup (chopped) fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 (minced) garlic clove
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon (drained and chopped) capers
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. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the fillets and season evenly with salt and black pepper.
Place the seasoned halibut fillets on the prepared baking sheet and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the fresh parsley, fresh basil, fresh dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, capers, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir well to create the herb sauce.
Adjust the seasoning of the herb sauce with additional salt and pepper to taste, and set the mixture aside to allow the flavors to meld.
Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Remove the halibut from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Transfer the roasted halibut fillets to plates and spoon the fresh herb sauce generously over the top of each portion.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a light green salad. Enjoy!
