- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh dill
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, dill, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Step 3
Place the halibut fillets in the baking dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each fillet is evenly coated.
Step 4
Let the fillets sit in the marinade for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 5
Arrange a lemon slice on top of each fillet for garnish.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the halibut flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout.
Step 7
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a minute before serving.
Step 8
Serve the halibut warm with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh salad.
