Garlic Parmesan Baked Halibut #healthyfood #dietketo #breakfast #food

Succulent baked halibut with a touch of lemon, Dijon mustard and dill is an ideal meal when something light and healthy is what you’re hungry for, and it’s ready to serve in around twenty minutes!

Halibut was one of favorite kinds of fish to prepare and serve to my clients during my personal chef days.

The light and succulent fillets were the perfect canvas to take on the slightly bright and tangy flavors of lemon, garlic, perhaps a touch of mustard, and a sprinkling of herbs and seasoning. And the fact that they baked off so quickly made it an incredibly quick and convenient meal to prepare!

Because halibut takes on added flavors so well, it only needs a few minutes of quick marination before simply being placed onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and baked for roughly 12 minutes.

Baking halibut in this way yields a moist, flavorful piece of fish, one perfect to serve with a light accompaniment of simple quinoa, or some roasted potatoes, sauteed asparagus, roasted vegetables, or even a green salad.

Ingredients:

• 2 large garlic cloves, pressed through garlic press
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
• Pinch paprika (about 1/8 – 1/4 teaspoon)
• Salt
• Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 (6 ounce) skinless halibut fillets (you can ask you seafood department to cut it for you)
• Fresh dill, chopped for garnish
• Lemon slices or wedges, on the side

Preparation:

1. Preheat your oven to 450°, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
2. In a small ramekin, prepare the marinade/seasoning by combining the pressed garlic cloves, Dijon, lemon juice and zest, the paprika, and a couple of good pinches of salt and pepper with a fork; add in the olive oil, 1 tablespoon at a time, and blend that in until combined.
3. Place the halibut fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, and brush each fillet with the seasoning mixture (or pour it directly over), and if you have a few minutes, allow it the fillets to marinate for 10-20 minutes.
4. Place the seasoned fillets into the oven and bake for 10 minutes; then, turn the broiler on, and allow the fish to broil for 2-3 minutes until it has a bit of color, and is tender, flaky and cooked through
5. To finish, sprinkle over some fresh dill, add lemon slices or wedges, and serve with your choice of side.
