Ingredients

  • 2 large garlic cloves, pressed through garlic press
  • 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp. lemon zest
  • 1 pinch paprika (about 1/8 – 1/4 teaspoon)
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 4 6 oz. skinless halibut fillet
  • fresh dill chopped for garnish
  • lemon slices or wedges, on the side

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 450°, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  • In a small ramekin prepare the marinade/seasoning by combining the pressed garlic cloves, Dijon, lemon juice, and zest, paprika, and a couple of good pinches of salt and pepper. Mix with a fork; add in the olive oil, 1 tablespoon at a time, and blend that in until combined.
  • Place the halibut fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, and brush each fillet with the seasoning mixture (or pour it directly over), and if you have a few minutes, allow the fillets to marinate for 10-20 minutes.
  • Place the seasoned fillets into the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Next, turn the broiler on and allow the fish to broil for 2-3 minutes until it has a bit of color, and is tender, flaky, and cooked through.
  • To finish, sprinkle over some fresh dill, add lemon slices or wedges, and serve with your choice of side.
