Breaded Parmesan Crusted Halibut
I am fortunate to be able to fish for wild halibut on an annual basis so always have a supply in the freezer, for elegant dining for guests or weekday meal. This recipe satisfies both. Simple, yet elegant.
Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound halibut fillet, cut into individual serving pieces
- 1/4 cup EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs*, For Keto use crushed pork rinds
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or mix half fresh and half powdered)
- 1 pinch fresh or dry herbs
- Freshly ground salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Prepare a glass pan or baking sheet with tin foil.
- Use a paper towel to blot dry the halibut.
- Mix the breadcrumbs, herbs and cheese in a shallow container.
- Pour the olive oil in a second shallow container.
- Season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Dip the fish in the olive oil, ensuring you cover both sides.
- Dredge the fish in the crumb mixture.
- Place the fish skin side down your prepared pan.
- Cook at least 10 minutes (depending on the thickness of your fish) or until the fish flakes which you test with a fork in the middle
- Serve with fresh lemon.
Notes
Halibut is a flat fish which lives and feeds on the ocean floor. A pic of our family's catch to fill our freezers for the year.
