Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 6 ounces each) halibut fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped dill
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 unit (as needed) nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat a grill pan on the stove over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Rinse the halibut fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of the fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, breadcrumbs, parsley, dill, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Drizzle the mixture with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and stir until the mixture is evenly moistened.

Step 4

Lightly grease the grill or grill pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Place the halibut fillets on the grill (skin-side down if they have skin). Let them cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until they are just cooked through and opaque in the center.

Step 6

Carefully transfer the fillets to a baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.

Step 7

Evenly spread the prepared lemon herb crust mixture over the top of each halibut fillet.

Step 8

Place the crusted fillets under a broiler set to high. Broil for 2-3 minutes or until the crust is golden and crisp. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve the grilled halibut with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad. Garnish with extra parsley or lemon wedges if desired.
