easy halibut recipe

Perfectly cooked Baked Halibut with garlic and butter is an instant win for an impressive main dish! This goof-proof method of cooking halibut results in tender, juicy halibut every time!

Garlic Butter Baked Halibut

halibut

Tbsp butter*

garlic (minced)

onion powder

½ tsp sea salt (to taste)

¼ tsp black pepper (to taste)

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Microwave the butter in a small bowl until melted, then immediately add the freshly minced garlic. Note: you can melt the butter in a small saucepan or skillet on the stove top and sauté the garlic if you would like.

Lightly spray a casserole dish or sheet pan with cooking oil. Remove the filets from their packaging and pat them dry with a paper towel. Place halibut into the baking dish.

Drizzle part of the garlic butter over the halibut filets.

Use about 1 tablespoon of garlic butter for each half pound of halibut (so if you’re making 1 pound of halibut, use two tablespoons of the garlic butter). Reserve the remaining garlic butter for drizzling when the halibut is fully cooked.

Spread the butter over the full filets (I do this using my hands) so that all of the flesh is coated with the butter mixture. Sprinkle with sea salt, onion powder, and black pepper.

Bake at 400 for 8 minutes for smaller filets and 10 minutes for large filets. Check the internal temperature of the fish by using a thermometer (see temperature guide below). If the halibut isn’t fully cooked yet, broil on high for 2 to 6 minutes, depending on the size of the filet for a crispy top.

Remove the halibut from the oven. Drizzle the halibut with the remaining garlic butter mixture (or serve the halibut with the garlic butter for dipping). I like sprinkling a little lemon zest and parmesan cheese over halibut. Serve halibut with choice of side dishes and white wine, and enjoy!

Halibut filets are breaded and cooked in the air fryer until they are a perfect medium. Simple and impressive dinner!
