Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Pat dry the halibut fillets with paper towels and season both sides with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the halibut fillets and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly golden. Transfer the fillets to the prepared baking sheet.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced red bell pepper, chopped zucchini, and halved cherry tomatoes. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the chopped parsley, lemon juice, and butter. Remove from heat.
Spoon the sautéed vegetable mixture evenly over the halibut fillets.
Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with extra parsley or a lemon wedge.
