Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 medium (minced) Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon (drained and chopped) Capers
- 0.25 teaspoon (optional) Crushed red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Rinse the halibut fillets under cold water and pat them dry using paper towels. Season both sides of each fillet with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Place the halibut fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the fish and set aside.
Step 4
In a small bowl, prepare the gremolata by mixing the minced garlic, parsley, mint, lemon zest, lemon juice, capers, the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to combine.
Step 5
Spoon the gremolata mixture generously over each halibut fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 6
Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the halibut is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the halibut from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a simple green salad.
