Ingredients

Scale

Fish

  • 4 halibut fillets (6 oz each)

Crust Mixture

  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Garnish

  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking your halibut to perfection.
  2. Mix Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the grated parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, melted butter, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a flavorful crust mixture.
  3. Prepare Halibut: Place the halibut fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  4. Add Topping: Evenly press the parmesan breadcrumb mixture onto the top of each halibut fillet, ensuring the crust adheres well.
  5. Bake: Bake the fillets in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden and crispy.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the halibut from the oven and sprinkle chopped parsley over the top before serving to add freshness and color.

Notes

  • If you prefer a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed nuts instead.
  • Do not overbake the fish to maintain its moisture and flakiness.
  • You can substitute halibut with other firm white fish like cod or sea bass if unavailable.
  • For more zest, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the crust mixture.
  • Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra bright flavor boost.
