Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Alaskan halibut fillets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional)
- 4 pieces (for garnish) Lemon slices
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Step 2
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using).
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
Step 4
Place the halibut fillets into the prepared baking dish and spoon the lemon garlic marinade over the top, ensuring each fillet is well coated.
Step 5
Add a small pat of butter (about 1/2 tablespoon) on top of each fillet for added richness.
Step 6
Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
While the halibut bakes, chop the fresh parsley and set it aside for garnish.
Step 8
Once the halibut is cooked through, remove the dish from the oven and garnish with parsley and a slice of lemon on each fillet.
Step 9
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a light green salad.
