Equipment

  • Baking dish

Ingredients

Fish Marinade:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill chopped (or 1-2 tsp dried dill)
  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • Zest from 1 lemon
  • 2 small fillets of halibut

Other Ingredients:

  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Fresh parsley chopped

Serving:

  • Tartar sauce
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions

  • Make the fish marinade by combining the olive oil, dill, garlic, and zest in a large zip-lock bag, and mix well. Add the fish, coating the filets in the marinade.
  • Marinate in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours.  Side Note: Do not add lemon juice to the marinade; the acid in the lemon will start to cook the fish.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Coat a large baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  • Place the fish in the baking dish and drizzle the lemon juice all over each filet, and top each with a tablespoon of butter.
  • Cook the fish by placing it in the oven and bake for 7-10 minutes, until it flakes easily.
  • Remove from the oven and top with parsley.
  • Serve with tartar sauce and lemon wedges. Enjoy.
