Ingredients
  

For the Halibut
  • 4 fillets Halibut Fresh halibut is perfect for its firm texture and mild flavor; can substitute with cod, tilapia, or salmon.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Can use cooking spray or avocado oil as a lighter option.
For the Flavor Mix
  • 2 cloves Garlic Fresh minced garlic; can use garlic powder (1/4 teaspoon for each clove) if in a rush.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Fresh lemon juice and zest; lime juice or apple cider vinegar can be used as substitutes.
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
  • 1 teaspoon Thyme Fresh thyme; if dried, reduce the amount since they're more potent.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the fresh halibut fillets dry with paper towels to remove moisture.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, thyme, salt, and pepper to make a marinade.
  4. Place the halibut fillets onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they're spaced apart.
  5. Brush the marinade over each halibut fillet evenly.
  6. Bake the halibut for 12-15 minutes, until it flakes easily with a fork and appears opaque.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with steamed vegetables or a salad.
