Parmesan Halibut
Description
The recipe starts by blending mayonnaise with parmesan cheese and minced garlic to form a creamy topping. Skin-on halibut pieces are seasoned simply with salt and freshly cracked black pepper and placed skin side down in a prepared baking dish. The mayonnaise mixture is brushed evenly on all sides, then sprinkled with additional parmesan cheese.
Baking at a high temperature cooks the fish through quickly, and a short broil at the end browns the parmesan topping nicely, creating a golden crust. The method ensures the fish remains moist beneath a flavorful, savory coating with garlic and cheese notes. The fresh parsley garnish adds a bright herbal contrast, and lemon wedges provide acidity to balance richness.
This dish serves as a straightforward, elegant main suitable for a dinner paired with vegetables, rice, or salads. The lemon wedges enhance the flavor and offer a fresh finish.
