Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 1 ½ pounds skinless halibut, cut into 4 fillets (1-inch thick)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon granulated garlic
- ½ cup fresh breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley, dill, or basil, or 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- Optional: Herbed Aioli or Tarragon Aioli, lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a wire rack over a large baking sheet and coat it generously with cooking spray.
- Pat the halibut fillets dry and season on all sides with salt, pepper, and granulated garlic.
- In a shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and herbs. Add the olive oil and toss with your fingers until evenly combined.
- Brush the halibut fillets with mayonnaise to ensure the breadcrumb mixture adheres well.
- Press each piece of halibut into the breadcrumb mixture, coating it thoroughly on all sides. Place the coated fillets onto the prepared wire rack.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish is cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F). Use the skewer test to check doneness as described above.
- Serve immediately with aioli and lemon wedges, if desired.
