Ingredients

Fish

  • 4 halibut fillets

Crust Mixture

  • 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated
  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley
  • 2 tablespoons dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Chili flakes, to taste
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Other Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Crust Mixture: In a shallow bowl, mix together panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, grated garlic, dried parsley, dried basil, dried thyme, chili flakes, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Melt Butter: Melt the salted butter in a separate bowl, which will be used to coat the halibut fillets and help the crust adhere.
  4. Coat Fillets: Dip each halibut fillet into the melted butter, then dredge thoroughly in the panko mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even and thick crust on all sides.
  5. Arrange and Drizzle: Place the crusted halibut fillets on the prepared baking sheet evenly spaced. Drizzle any remaining melted butter over the top of the fillets for additional moisture and flavor.
  6. Bake: Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and golden and the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
  7. Finish: Remove from oven and immediately squeeze fresh lemon juice over each fillet. Garnish with extra parmesan cheese and flaky salt if desired before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh halibut fillets of similar thickness to ensure even cooking.
  • Adjust chili flakes according to your spice preference or omit if you prefer a milder flavor.
  • Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
  • Extra crispy crust can be achieved by broiling for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end—watch carefully to prevent burning.
  • Leftover halibut can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and gently reheated in the oven to maintain crispness.
