Baked Halibut Recipe (The Easiest)
Description
This recipe starts by slicing a large halibut fillet into evenly sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking. Each piece is drizzled with fresh lemon juice and seasoned with garlic parsley salt, which imparts a subtle herb and garlic flavor. Butter slices on top of each fillet melt during baking, keeping the fish moist and adding richness.
Baking at 425°F or using a low broil setting for 10-15 minutes cooks the fish until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F, ensuring a tender but fully cooked texture with a lightly golden surface. The simple seasoning allows the natural halibut flavor to stand out while adding mild acidity and herbaceous notes.
This straightforward halibut preparation works well as a main dish paired with vegetables, rice, or salad, offering a clean and balanced seafood option.
