Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the halibut fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Zest the lemon and thinly slice it. Set the zest aside for later use.
Chop the fresh parsley and dill finely.
Place the halibut fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush each fillet generously with the garlic and oil mixture.
Sprinkle the lemon zest evenly over the halibut fillets.
Arrange the lemon slices on top of the fish, approximately two per fillet.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley and dill over the lemon-topped fish.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.
Serve the halibut immediately, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired.
