Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Halibut fillets
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup (chopped) Fresh basil leaves
- 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup (grated, optional) Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Rinse the halibut fillets under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle each one with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes (halved), minced garlic, chopped basil, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the ingredients evenly.
Spoon the tomato-basil mixture generously over each halibut fillet, ensuring the fillets are evenly covered.
Optional: Sprinkle a little grated Parmesan cheese on top of the tomato mixture for added flavor and a cheesy crust.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the halibut is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let the halibut rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the Tomato Basil Topped Halibut with a side of steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
