Description
A delightful contrast of crunchy, savory crust paired with tender, flaky halibut, this dish is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 halibut fillets (about 6 oz each; skinless or skin-on with skin removed where topping will sit)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (use panko for extra crunch)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
- In a medium bowl, combine the grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, chopped parsley, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until the mixture holds together slightly—moist but not soggy.
- Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Press the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture onto the top of each fillet firmly to form an even crust.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the crust is golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove from the oven and rest for 1–2 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
Halibut is an excellent source of lean protein. Use panko for a lighter, crunchier texture. Optionally, finish under the broiler for extra browning, but watch closely.
