Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the halibut fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Place the fillets in a baking dish lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the fillets.
Zest the lemon and set the zest aside. Then, cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the fillets.
Finely chop the fresh garlic, parsley, and dill.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped garlic, parsley, dill, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Sprinkle the herb mixture evenly over the halibut fillets, gently pressing it into the fish to adhere.
Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a minute before serving.
Serve each fillet with an additional lemon wedge if desired, and enjoy your Whole30 baked halibut with lemon and herbs!
