Baked Halibut

Preparation:

-Preheat your oven to 450°, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

-In a small bowl, prepare the marinade/seasoning by combining the minced garlic cloves, Dijon, lemon juice and zest, the paprika, and a  pinch of salt and pepper with a fork; add in the olive oil, 1 tablespoon at a time, and blend that in until combined.

-Place the halibut fillets onto the prepared baking sheet, and brush each fillet with the seasoning mixture (or pour it directly over), and if you have a few minutes, allow it the fillets to marinate for 10-20 minutes.

-Place the seasoned fillets into the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Then, turn the broiler on, and allow the fish to broil for 2-3 minutes until it has a bit of color, and is tender, flaky and cooked through.

-To finish, sprinkle over some fresh dill, add lemon slices or wedges, and serve with your choice of sides: steamed broccoli, rice, roasted carrots…..

This marinade also is delicious on sea bass.
