directions

  • In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and Old Bay together; brush the halibut fillets with the mixture.
  • Arrange fillets in a single layer in an ovenproof baking dish; cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
  • Melt butter in a small saucean over low heat; add in garlic; stir/saute until the garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  • Remove pan from heat; add in lemon juice, lemon zest, and herbs; store in the refrigerator until you are ready to bake the fish.
  • Preheat oven to 400°; let fish come to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  • Melt the garlic butter and pour it over the fish.
  • Bake the fish for 10 minutes, basting once with the sauce.
  • The fish is done when it is opaque all the way through when slashed in the thickest part or an instant-read thermometer reads 165°.
  • Serve fish with the garlic butter spooned over each portion.

Questions & Replies

  1. I've made this twice and this halibut recipe was delicious but my thermometer never read 165 degrees. I put it back in the oven until approx. 15 min. but the thermometer never reached 165. Tried this with two different thermometers. Anyone else have this issue? (I read that FDA says 145 degrees is good for fish; other sites say 125 degrees.) Any opinions?

  1. I used bacon grease and limes because I was out of olive oil and lemons, and it turned out great. Everyone loved it and there was even slurping off of the plate.

  3. Yum! Everyone had fish for dinner tonight, even those that usually decline. Skipped putting the fish in the fridge. Came out great, will make it again.
     
  4. I used haddock and followed the recipe as written other then I used I can't believe it's not butter and dill for the herb. This was really good and full of flavor.
