Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Halibut fillets
• 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 cup (chopped) Fresh basil leaves
• 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup (grated, optional) Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Rinse the halibut fillets under cold water, then pat them dry with paper towels. Place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle each one with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes (halved), minced garlic, chopped basil, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the ingredients evenly.

Step 4

Spoon the tomato-basil mixture generously over each halibut fillet, ensuring the fillets are evenly covered.

Step 5

Optional: Sprinkle a little grated Parmesan cheese on top of the tomato mixture for added flavor and a cheesy crust.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the halibut is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the halibut rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve the Tomato Basil Topped Halibut with a side of steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
