Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 4 halibut filets 4 to 6 ounces each
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF and brush a ceramic baking dish with olive oil.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, mustard, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Place the halibut in the prepared baking dish, skin-side down. Spread the olive oil mixture evenly over the tops of the fish. Sprinkle the cherry tomatoes around the filets.
- Bake 6 to 9 minutes, depending on the thickness of the filets. 7 minutes is about right for 1-inch filets. Then turn on the broiler for one minute to lightly brown the tops. The fish should flake easily with a fork when done.
Notes
Storage Information: Store any leftovers in a covered container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Reheat very gently to avoid over-cooking. I recommend allowing it to come to room temperature, then warming in a 300ºF oven.
Checking for doneness: Test by flaking the fish lightly with a fork. The ends will cook faster so try flaking in the center of the thickest filet. If the flesh is opaque and flakes easily, it's ready. If you prefer to use an instant read thermometer, it should reach at least 130ºF.
