How to Make 10 Minute Baked Halibut With Garlic Butter Sauce

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning.
3. Brush both sides of the halibut fillets (about 1 pound total) with the olive oil and Old Bay mixture.
4. Arrange fillets in a single layer in an ovenproof baking dish.
5. In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over low heat.
6. Add 2 cloves minced garlic to the melted butter.
7. Cook, stirring frequently, until garlic is fragrant (about 1 minute), being careful not to burn it.
8. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, thyme, or dill).
9. Let the fish come to room temperature (about 15 minutes).
10. Pour the garlic butter sauce evenly over the halibut fillets.
11. Bake for 10 minutes, basting once halfway through with the sauce.
12. Check for doneness: The fish is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
13. Serve immediately, spooning extra garlic butter sauce over each portion.
