Ingredients
  • 2 halibut fillets (6-8 ounces each / 170-226 g each, skin removed)
  • 1/2 cup (45g) Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup (30g) Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp (4g) fresh parsley (finely chopped)

  • Lemon wedges for garnish
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Place the fish on a plate and drizzle the lemon juice over it. Brush both sides of each fillet with olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, and minced garlic.
  4. Place the fish on the baking dish. Press the Parmesan mixture evenly onto the top of each halibut fillet. Make sure to coat the fillets generously.
