How to Make Almond Baked Halibut
- Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C).
- Place halibut fillets (about 6 oz each) in a shallow baking dish.
- Season fillets generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 clove minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Brush mixture evenly over halibut.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Carefully flip halibut fillets. Baste with pan juices.
- Reduce oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Continue baking for 15-20 minutes, or until halibut flakes easily with a fork, basting several times.
- While halibut bakes, sauté 1/4 cup slivered almonds in 1 tablespoon butter until golden brown. Set aside.
- Garnish baked halibut with toasted almonds and lime wedges before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
