| 1 lb. wild halibut filet | |
| 1 lemon | |
| 5 garlic cloves (minced) | |
| ½ inch piece fresh ginger minced (or ½ teaspoon dry ginger) | |
| ½ teaspoon each paprika, salt, pepper, cumin | |
| ¼ cup fresh chopped Italian parsley and dill | |
| 2 tablespoons olive oil |
Preparation
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking pan with a large sheet of parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, the zest and juice of half a lemon, minced garlic, and ginger. Add the dry spices—salt, pepper, paprika, and cumin—and mix everything until well combined.
2
Cut three thin slices from the remaining half of the lemon and arrange them on the parchment paper in the baking pan. Place the halibut on top of the lemon slices, then spread the marinade evenly over the fish, coating it thoroughly on all sides
3
Place the halibut on the lemon slices arranged on the parchment paper. Generously spread the marinade over the fish, ensuring it’s evenly coated from top to bottom.
4
Carefully wrap the parchment paper around the halibut to create a sealed packet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked. Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature; remove the halibut when it reaches 127°F. Allow the fish to rest for five minutes, during which the temperature will rise to an ideal 135°F.
5
Squeeze the remaining lemon juice over the halibut, then sprinkle fresh herbs on top for added flavor and a beautiful garnish. Serve and enjoy!
Rana’s Notes!
Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within 2-3 days for the best quality.
Reheating: When reheating, do so gently in a moderate oven (around 300°F) to prevent the fish from drying out. It's best served immediately, but if necessary, you can reheat it with care.
