Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Halibut fillets

- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, fresh dill, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
Step 3
Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Place them in the prepared baking dish.
Step 4
Spread a generous layer of the yogurt mixture over each halibut fillet, ensuring the top is fully covered.
Step 5
Sprinkle paprika lightly over the top of the fillets if desired for added color and flavor.
Step 6
Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Remove the dish from the oven and allow the fillets to cool slightly for 2 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad. Enjoy!
