Here’s a delicious Parmesan Crusted Baked Halibut recipe that’s crispy, cheesy, and full of flavor:
Ingredients:
- 4 halibut fillets (about 6 oz each)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the Parmesan crust:
- In a small bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, lemon zest, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Add the melted butter and olive oil to the breadcrumb mixture, stirring until the mixture is well combined and crumbly.
3. Season the halibut:
- Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels.
- Lightly season each fillet with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Brush the top of each fillet with Dijon mustard to help the crust stick.
4. Coat with the Parmesan mixture:
- Press the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture onto the top of each halibut fillet, forming a crust. Make sure it’s evenly distributed and press gently to adhere it to the fish.
5. Bake the halibut:
- Place the crusted halibut fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The crust should be golden brown and crispy.
6. Serve:
- Remove from the oven and serve the Parmesan Crusted Halibut immediately.
- Garnish with lemon wedges and additional parsley, if desired.
