- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Garnish

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is ready for perfect baking temperature.
- Prepare Crust Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine grated parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, melted butter, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Arrange Fish: Place the halibut fillets skin-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring even spacing between each piece.
- Apply Crust: Press the parmesan breadcrumb mixture firmly on top of each fillet, forming an even crust layer that will crisp up during baking.
- Bake Fillets: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork, indicating it is fully cooked and tender inside.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and sprinkle chopped parsley over the fillets for a fresh, vibrant finish before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh halibut for the best flavor and texture results.
- Adjust baking time slightly depending on the thickness of the fillets to avoid overcooking.
