A delightful and easy-to-make halibut recipe with a rich garlic lemon butter sauce.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the fish.
Brush the halibut fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Seasoning the fish just before cooking helps retain its moisture.
Arrange the fillets in a single layer in a baking dish.
Ensure the fillets are not overlapping for even cooking.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Keep the heat low to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and parsley into the butter mixture.
Adding the lemon juice off the heat preserves its fresh flavor.
Pour the garlic butter sauce over the halibut fillets.
Ensure the sauce coats the fillets evenly for maximum flavor.
Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, basting once with the sauce.
Basting keeps the fish moist and flavorful.
Check if the fish is done by ensuring it flakes easily with a fork or reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Avoid overcooking to maintain the fish's tender texture.
Serve the halibut hot with the garlic butter sauce spooned over each portion.
Garnish with extra parsley for a fresh touch.
