Print Recipe

This Garlic Parmesan Crusted Halibut is a delightful dish featuring tender, flaky fish topped with a crispy, garlicky crust. Perfect for a cozy dinner, it combines rich flavors that will impress your guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 halibut fillets (6 oz each)
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the halibut cooks evenly and the crust becomes golden and crispy.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the grated parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, melted butter, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients form a cohesive mixture. Ensure the butter is not too hot, or it will melt the cheese.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, which will prevent the halibut from sticking and make cleanup easier. Place the halibut fillets skin-side down, spaced evenly apart to allow for even cooking.
  4. Press the parmesan breadcrumb mixture firmly onto the top of each halibut fillet. Make sure to cover them evenly with a thick layer to achieve that perfect crust. Avoid using too little topping, as it won’t provide the desired crunch.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the fish flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown. Keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking.
  6. Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle chopped parsley over the fillets for a fresh touch. Serve immediately, and enjoy the contrast of the crispy topping with the flaky fish!

Keywords: For the best flavor, use freshly minced garlic instead of pre-minced or powdered garlic. You can substitute halibut with other firm white fish like cod or tilapia if needed.
