Units
Scale
- 24 oz. (4 fillets) halibut fillets
- 2 Tbsp. butter (chilled works better)
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- 1 lemon, sliced
- flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Thaw halibut if necessary. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Pat the fillets dry with paper towel and place onto a baking dish lined with aluminum foil for easy clean up.
- Sprinkle fillets with sea salt and top with small and thin slices of the butter. Top with lemon slices to cover fish and bake for (8-12 minutes for a flatter 3/4-inch fillets or 16-22 minutes for a thicker 2-inch fillets), until cooked through to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (cook to 150-155 degrees F for a slightly firmer texture) and flakes easily.
- Finish with flaky sea salt if desired.
Notes
- The lemon flavor is subtle, if you want a stronger flavor, set aside some lemon wedges for a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure you cook your halibut to the perfect temperature.
