Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large garlic cloves, pressed through a garlic press
  • 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon of lemon zest
  • A pinch of paprika (about ⅛ – ¼ teaspoon)
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 4 (6 ounces) skinless halibut fillets
  • Fresh dill, chopped to garnish with
  • Lemon slices or wedges, on the side

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit, prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place the oven rack in the middle of the oven. (If using parchment, cut it to fit your baking sheet perfectly, leaving no overhang.)
  2. Prepare the marinade/seasoning in a small ramekin by blending the pressed garlic cloves, Dijon, lemon juice and zest, paprika, and a few good pinches of salt and pepper with a fork; slowly drizzle in the olive oil, 1 tablespoon at a time, until mixed.
  3. Place the halibut fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush (or pour) the spice mixture over each fillet. If you have a few minutes, let the fish marinate for 10 to 20 minutes.
  4. Place the seasoned fillets in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes; then, turn the oven to “broil” and broil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the fish has a little color and is soft, flaky, and cooked through (the broiler beneath the oven should not be used.)
  5. Finish with a sprinkling of fresh dill, lemon slices or wedges, and your favorite side dish.
