Directions
1. Preheat the oven – Preheat your oven to 425°F. You’ll want that heat high enough to get a crispy top but gentle enough to cook the fish through perfectly. It’s the balance that makes all the difference.
2. Melt the Garlic Herb Butter – In a small pot over low to medium heat, melt the Garlic Herb Better Butter. As it melts, your kitchen will smell like heaven. Once melted, whisk in the lemon zest, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until everything is blended and fragrant.
3. Prep your baking dish – Get your baking dish ready by lining it with parchment paper or a light coating of oil. This will prevent sticking and help ensure that your fish doesn’t get all gummy.
4. Place the fish – Lay the halibut fillets in the prepared baking dish, skin-side down. Pour the Garlic Herb Butter mixture evenly over the fish, making sure every inch is covered in that savory goodness. The fish will soak up all those flavors, making each bite irresistible.
5. Bake the fish – Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 7 to 9 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. The key here is to not overcook—it should be tender and juicy, not dry and tough.
6. Broil to perfection – Crank up your broiler for one minute at the end to get a nice, crispy, golden top. Trust us, this step is going to take your halibut from good to next level.
7. Finish with seasoning – Once out of the oven, season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired. You’re looking at a fish dish that looks as good as it tastes.
There you have it: Baked Halibut with Garlic Herb Butter—flaky, flavorful, and effortless. It’s a deliciously simple way to elevate your dinner game!
