Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Halibut fillets
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, fresh dill, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Place them in the prepared baking dish.
Spread a generous layer of the yogurt mixture over each halibut fillet, ensuring the top is fully covered.
Sprinkle paprika lightly over the top of the fillets if desired for added color and flavor.
Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow the fillets to cool slightly for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad. Enjoy!
