How to Make 10 Minute Baked Halibut With Garlic Butter Sauce
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning.
- Brush both sides of the halibut fillets (about 1 pound total) with the olive oil and Old Bay mixture.
- Arrange fillets in a single layer in an ovenproof baking dish.
- In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over low heat.
- Add 2 cloves minced garlic to the melted butter.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until garlic is fragrant (about 1 minute), being careful not to burn it.
- 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).
- Let the fish come to room temperature (about 15 minutes).
- Pour the garlic butter sauce evenly over the halibut fillets.
- Bake for 10 minutes, basting once halfway through with the sauce.
- Check for doneness: The fish is cooked when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Serve immediately, spooning extra garlic butter sauce over each portion.
