Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Halibut fillets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Plain breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Fresh tarragon, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter, melted
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

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 paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and toast them, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Transfer the toasted breadcrumbs to a small bowl. Add the chopped tarragon, lemon zest, minced garlic, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is well combined.

Step 5

Spoon the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of each halibut fillet, pressing gently so it adheres to the fish.

Step 6

Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the breadcrumb-topped fillets.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the halibut is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Transfer the fillets to serving plates.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley, if using, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for extra brightness.
