How to Make Best Halibut Ever

  1. Preheat your oven's broiler.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Place halibut filets (about 6 ounces each) in a baking dish.
  4. Brush the halibut filets generously with the olive oil mixture.
  5. Bake the halibut at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is almost cooked through. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of your filets; thicker filets will require more time.
  6. Broil the halibut for the last 3 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

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!
