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
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
