Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish.

Pour the citrus mixture evenly over the halibut fillets, making sure they are coated thoroughly.

Scatter cherry tomatoes and sliced red onions around the fillets on the baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the halibut flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.
