Baked Halibut with Lemon and Dill
Halibut is a mild and meaty fish that both seafood lovers and skeptics will enjoy, particularly with this savory blend of Italian seasoning, garlic, and fresh lemon and dill–think coastal Greek-Italian. The fish is baked in the oven for an easy, crowd-pleasing dinner that comes together quickly enough for a weeknight, but the halibut makes this recipe very dinner party-worthy. If you’d like a more budget-friendly fish, you can swap with any sturdy white fish, like cod, fluke, flounder, or turbot. Either way, serve with a fresh seasonal side.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound halibut fillet, sliced into 4 pieces (mine was 1-inch thick)
- Kosher salt
- Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes, or more to your liking
- 1 lemon
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Instructions
- Get ready. Set a rack in the middle of your oven and preheat to 425°F. Lightly brush a sheet pan with thin layer of olive oil.
- Season the halibut fillets. Sprinkle the fish all over with salt and pepper (about 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon each), Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes (if using). Arrange on the prepared sheet pan.
- Roast. Drizzle the fish with extra virgin olive oil. Cut half of the lemon into thin slices and arrange them on top of the fish (keep the other half of the lemon aside for now). Bake on the middle rack of the heated oven until the thickest part of the fish flakes easily at the touch of a fork, for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Finish and serve. Remove from the oven and squeeze the remaining lemon all over the fish. Sprinkle on the dill and serve immediately.
Notes
- If your halibut fillets come with the skin on, roast them skin side-down. Pull or slice off the skin before serving.
