Baked Halibut with Herb Crust and Lemon Butter Sauce
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 halibut fillets (6 oz each)
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, mix together 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, and 1/4 cup melted butter to create the herb crust.
- Season the halibut fillets with salt and pepper, then coat them in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
- Place the coated halibut fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press the herb crust mixture onto the top of each fillet to form a thick coating.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the herb-crusted halibut fillets.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the halibut is cooked through and the crust is golden brown and crispy.
- While the halibut is baking, prepare the lemon butter sauce. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup white wine, 1/4 cup chicken broth, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes to reduce the liquid slightly.
- Reduce the heat to low and whisk in 2 tablespoons of cold butter, one cube at a time, until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the halibut is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the baked halibut with the herb crust, drizzled with the lemon butter sauce. Enjoy!
Baked Halibut with Herb Crust is a classic seafood dish that has been enjoyed for centuries. The dish originated in coastal regions where fresh halibut was readily available. Chefs would coat the halibut with a flavorful herb crust, typically made with a blend of fresh herbs such as parsley, dill, and thyme, along with breadcrumbs for a crispy texture. The halibut is then baked to perfection, allowing the flavors to meld together. The addition of a tangy lemon butter sauce adds a burst of citrusy flavor that perfectly complements the delicate taste of the halibut. This dish has become a staple in seafood restaurants around the world, with variations in the herb crust and lemon butter sauce to suit different regional tastes. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in coastal regions known for their fresh seafood, such as the Pacific Northwest in the United States and the coastal regions of Europe. The key to getting this dish right lies in using the freshest halibut available and ensuring that the herb crust is well-seasoned and perfectly crispy. For a unique twist, some chefs also incorporate ingredients like garlic, parmesan cheese, or even a hint of chili for added depth of flavor. Whether enjoyed at a fine dining establishment or prepared at home, Baked Halibut with Herb Crust and lemon butter sauce is a delightful dish that showcases the natural flavors of the sea.
