Ingredients
  

  • 4 5-6 oz Halibut filets Defrost and pat dry
  • 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 tbsp Parsley (fresh, chopped) Use extra for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

  4. Press the Parmesan mixture firmly onto the top of each halibut fillet, creating a thick, even crust. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the crust to help it turn golden and crisp.
  5. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork, internal temperature reaches 130–135°F, and the crust is golden brown.
