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 cooking the halibut perfectly.
  2. Prepare Crust Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine grated parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, melted butter, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  3. Prepare Halibut: Place the halibut fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  4. Apply Crust: Evenly press the parmesan breadcrumb mixture onto the top of each halibut fillet, forming a thick, compact crust.
  5. Bake Fish: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the crust turns golden and crispy.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the halibut from the oven and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top for a fresh, vibrant finish before serving.

Notes

  • The halibut fillets should be approximately 6 ounces each for even cooking.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor in the crust.
  • Make sure to press the crust firmly on the fillets to help it adhere well during baking.
  • To check for doneness, the fish should flake easily with a fork and be opaque all the way through.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
