How to Make Easy Baked Halibut

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut halibut filets into 3-4 ounce portions (about 3-4 per person).
  3. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl.
  4. Crush 1 cup of Ritz crackers into fine crumbs.
  5. In a shallow dish, combine the cracker crumbs with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  6. Dip each halibut filet into the melted butter, then dredge in the cracker mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  7. Place the coated halibut filets on a lightly greased baking sheet.
  8. Drizzle the remaining melted butter evenly over the halibut.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the halibut is flaky and cooked through when gently pierced with a fork.
