Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
Pat dry the halibut fillets with paper towels and season both sides with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the halibut fillets and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly golden. Transfer the fillets to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced red bell pepper, chopped zucchini, and halved cherry tomatoes. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the chopped parsley, lemon juice, and butter. Remove from heat.
Step 6
Spoon the sautéed vegetable mixture evenly over the halibut fillets.
Step 7
Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with extra parsley or a lemon wedge.
