Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce pieces halibut fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup (chopped) fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup (chopped) fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 (minced) garlic clove
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon (drained and chopped) capers
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. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the fillets and season evenly with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Place the seasoned halibut fillets on the prepared baking sheet and set aside.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the fresh parsley, fresh basil, fresh dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, capers, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir well to create the herb sauce.
Step 5
Adjust the seasoning of the herb sauce with additional salt and pepper to taste, and set the mixture aside to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 6
Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Step 7
Remove the halibut from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Step 8
Transfer the roasted halibut fillets to plates and spoon the fresh herb sauce generously over the top of each portion.
Step 9
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a light green salad. Enjoy!
