Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Halibut fillets
• 2 medium Yellow onion
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 5 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into half-moons. Mince the garlic cloves and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions become golden and caramelized. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, chopped parsley, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix until the panko is evenly coated and slightly moist.

Step 5

Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with lemon juice and lightly season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 6

Top each halibut fillet with an even layer of caramelized onions, then press a generous amount of the panko breadcrumb mixture over the onions to create a crunchy topping.

Step 7

Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the halibut from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
