Garlic Parmesan Halibut

✨ Oh my gosh, you have to try this garlic parmesan crusted halibut – golden, crispy, and ready in just 15 minutes! It’s restaurant-quality seafood without the restaurant fuss.

⏱️ Time Breakdown:

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4

📝 Ingredients:

4 halibut fillets (6 oz each), fresh and skinless
½ cup grated parmesan cheese (freshly grated preferred)
¼ cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tbsp melted unsalted butter
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
1 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:

Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Make the Crust
In a bowl, combine parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic, melted butter, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until the texture resembles damp sand. Let sit 5 minutes for flavors to meld. 🧄🧀
Coat the Fillets
Pat halibut dry and place on the prepared baking sheet. Press a generous layer of the crust mixture on top of each fillet, about ¼-inch thick.
Bake to Perfection
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Finish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon. 🍋

💡 Pro Tips:

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven to maintain crispiness.
Substitutions: Gluten-free? Use almond flour or crushed pork rinds. No halibut? Try cod or salmon.
Serving Ideas: Pair with roasted asparagus, lemony arugula salad, or garlic mashed potatoes.
Extra Crisp: Bake fish on a wire rack to keep the bottom from getting soggy.
