Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Brush the spice mixture evenly over each halibut fillet, ensuring the fish is well-coated.
Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the halibut from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Garnish the fillets with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
