In this recipe, the halibut fillets are first marinated in a lemon-garlic based marinade. It is then baked in the oven for 20 minutes. Finally, it is topped with some fresh chopped tomatoes and parsley. The result is delicious and flaky fish perfectly complimented by the smoky lemon–garlic sauce. We even enjoyed the leftovers- when the fish has had more time to marinate in the delicious lemon-garlic sauce. Yum!

Loved it! The smoked paprika and red pepper flakes provided a underlying heat (spice) that was amazing! Served out with cauliflower rice!
Hi Dave,
Glad that you were able to try and had success with this recipe. My family also love this halibut dish. It is always the first dish to be devoured 🙂 Take care and happy new year!
Made this for dinner & it was delicious. Served it with roasted zucchini, tomatoes & potatoes.
Awesome!
This was absolutely delicious! Loved every bit of it. I added shrimp to the same pan and cooked together. Will be making this again!
That’s awesome! Glad you loved it. My family love shrimp so I will add them next time I make this dish. Take care and thanks for writing 🙂
I am so mad that I didn’t take a picture to share. We grilled this tonight and it was absolutely delicious. I have had lots of halibut in my life but always broiled with lemon and salt and pepper. This version had so much flavor and was a beautiful dish-one worthy of a fancy restaurant! Thank you!
You’re welcome Pam! Take care and thanks for the heartwarming words 🙂
