Easy Garlic Parmesan Crusted Halibut
A quick and flavorful seafood dish featuring tender halibut fillets topped with a crispy garlic parmesan crust.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces halibut fillets (about 6 ounces each) Fresh or properly thawed if frozen.
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional) Can be omitted.
- to taste salt and pepper
- 1 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for cooking your fish.
- Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil. Place the halibut fillets in the dish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated parmesan cheese, melted butter, minced garlic, fresh parsley (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Generously spoon the garlic parmesan mixture over each halibut fillet, ensuring an even layer for that delightful crust.
Cooking
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the halibut flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden brown.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with lemon wedges for that extra zest!
Notes
Fresh halibut is ideal. Cooking time may vary based on thickness of fillets. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven until heated through.
