Ingredients
Scale
Halibut Fillets
- 4 halibut fillets
Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the halibut.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Arrange the fillets: Place the halibut fillets evenly spaced on the lined baking sheet.
- Season the fish: Drizzle olive oil evenly over the fillets, then season each with salt and pepper according to taste.
- Add lemon and parsley: Place lemon slices on top of each fillet and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley to add brightness and flavor.
- Bake the halibut: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the fish is opaque, flaky, and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately, garnished with additional lemon wedges and parsley for extra freshness.
Notes
- Ensure the halibut fillets are of even thickness for consistent cooking.
- Check doneness by gently flaking the fish with a fork; it should separate easily.
- For added flavor, marinate the fish briefly in olive oil, lemon juice, and parsley before baking.
- Serve with steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
