Ingredients
- 4 pieces halibut fillets
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with a small amount of the olive oil.
Step 2
Rinse the halibut fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 3
Season both sides of the fillets with salt and black pepper.
Step 4
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.
Step 5
Zest the lemon using a fine grater and then cut the lemon in half.
Step 6
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, lemon zest, chopped rosemary, and thyme with the olive oil. Mix well to create a herb paste.
Step 7
Place the halibut fillets into the prepared baking dish and spread the herb paste evenly over the tops of each fillet.
Step 8
Pour the low-sodium vegetable broth around the fillets in the baking dish, not over them, then squeeze the juice from the lemon halves over the fillets.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let it sit for a minute before serving.
Step 11
Serve the halibut with a garnish of fresh lemon slices and additional rosemary sprigs, if desired.
