Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Halibut fillets
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh dill
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 bottle (for greasing and coating) Olive oil cooking spray
• 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment paper with olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix together the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, chopped dill, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine thoroughly.

Step 3

Place the all-purpose flour in a second shallow dish.

Step 4

In a third shallow dish, whisk the eggs until well beaten.

Step 5

Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel. Lightly season each fillet with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 6

Dredge each halibut fillet first in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally press it into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring all sides are evenly coated.

Step 7

Place the breaded fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each piece for even cooking.

Step 8

Lightly spray the tops of the fillets with olive oil cooking spray to help them achieve a golden, crispy crust while baking.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the halibut is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The coating should be golden brown and crisp.

Step 10

Remove the fillets from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve the garlic and herb oven-fried halibut with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Pair with your favorite side dishes, such as a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables.
