Ingredients
Scale
- 4 halibut fillets (6 oz each, skinless)
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise or Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
- 3 tbsp butter (melted)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or baking dish.
- Pat the halibut fillets completely dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and pepper and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Combine in a small bowl the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, melted butter, and olive oil. Mix until well combined.
- Brush a thin layer of mayonnaise or Dijon mustard over the top surface of each halibut fillet. Firmly press the panko mixture onto the tops, creating a thick, even layer.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque, flakes easily with a fork, and the crust is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately, garnished with a lemon wedge and extra fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For extra crunch, consider adding crushed nuts to the panko mixture or experimenting with different herbs like thyme or basil.
