Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Halibut fillets
• 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 4 pieces Orange slices (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold the halibut fillets in a single layer.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, honey, and minced garlic. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry. Gradually stir the slurry into the saucepan, whisking constantly until the glaze thickens slightly, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the glaze from the heat and set aside.

Step 4

Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels, then drizzle them with olive oil. Sprinkle both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 5

Place the halibut fillets in the prepared baking dish skin side down. Brush a generous amount of the orange glaze over each fillet, reserving some glaze for later.

Step 6

Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. For a caramelized finish, broil the fish for an additional 2 minutes while keeping an eye on it to prevent burning.

Step 7

Remove the fish from the oven and brush with the remaining glaze. Let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Transfer the halibut fillets to serving plates. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with orange slices on the side, if desired.
