Description

This Garlic Parmesan Crusted Halibut recipe creates a restaurant-quality dish at home. It features light, flaky halibut fillets baked with a crispy, savory crust of garlic, Parmesan cheese, and panko breadcrumbs. The result is a tender interior with a golden, flavorful exterior, perfect for an elegant yet easy dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 halibut fillets (about 6 ounces each, skinless)
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, melted butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Mix until the ingredients form coarse crumbs.
  3. Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel. Place them on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops of the fillets with olive oil or melted butter.
  4. Spoon the garlic-Parmesan mixture evenly over each halibut fillet. Gently press the mixture down to create a thick, even crust.
  5. Bake for 12–15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately with lemon wedges for brightness.

Notes

  • Use fresh halibut for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overbake, as halibut can dry out quickly.
  • Lemon zest significantly enhances the fish’s natural sweetness.
  • Mix the topping just before baking to maintain the crispness of the breadcrumbs.
  • Serve with roasted vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
  • This crust also works well on other white fish like cod or grouper.
