A flavorful and easy-to-make halibut dish with a zesty twist.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking of the fish.
Place the halibut fillets on a non-stick baking sheet.
Using a non-stick sheet prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a small bowl, mix the cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt.
Adjust the seasoning mix to your taste preference.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the halibut fillets.
Ensure even coverage for consistent flavor.
Cut the butter into small pieces and place them on top of the fillets.
Butter adds richness and helps keep the fish moist.
Grate the parmesan cheese and sprinkle it over the fillets.
Freshly grated cheese melts better and has a stronger flavor.
Slice the lemon and squeeze the juice over the fillets.
Lemon juice enhances the flavor and adds a zesty touch.
Bake the fillets in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Check the fish at 20 minutes to avoid overcooking.
Serve the baked halibut with your choice of sides and enjoy!
Garnish with fresh parsley or a lemon wedge for presentation.
