Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons Wasabi paste
- 2 teaspoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (sliced) Green onions (optional, for garnish)
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 and season both sides with salt and ground black pepper. Place the fillets skin-side down (if the skin is on) on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine wasabi paste, soy sauce, honey, and mayonnaise. Mix well until smooth.
Spread an even layer of the wasabi mixture on top of each halibut fillet, ensuring the surface is completely covered.
In another bowl, toss the panko breadcrumbs with olive oil until evenly coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs generously over the wasabi-coated fillets, pressing gently to adhere.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the halibut is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
For added crispiness, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning the breadcrumbs.
Remove the halibut from the oven and let it rest for about 2 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired, and serve immediately.
