Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 ounces each) halibut fillets
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup (grated) parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the panko breadcrumbs to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and lightly toasted.

Step 5

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and lemon zest.

Step 6

Brush the tops of the halibut fillets with a thin layer of olive oil or lemon juice. Divide the breadcrumb mixture evenly over each fillet, pressing gently to form a crust.

Step 7

Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The breadcrumb topping should be golden and crisp.

Step 8

Remove the halibut from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Drizzle with lemon juice before serving, if desired.

Step 9

Serve the Crummy Halibut immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
