Baked Parmesan Crusted Halibut
Dec 21, 2025 04:20 AM
If you're craving a gorgeous main course that's equal parts elegant and easy, this Parmesan Crusted Halibut delivers. The fish bakes up crisp on the outside and tender inside, with a savory coating of Parmesan, herbs, and breadcrumbs. It's a restaurant-style dinner that comes together in about 30 minutes.
This recipe is all about ease and flavor. The halibut gets brushed with mayonnaise instead of an egg wash before coating, which locks in moisture and helps the crust adhere beautifully. The fish bakes on a rack, which allows air to circulate so it browns evenly without frying.
I love to serve it with a creamy Herbed Aioli or Tarragon Aioli for dipping. Both sauces give a bright contrast to the crispy Parmesan crust and flaky fish. The result is a dish that feels refined but is so simple to make; it's always a hit with my family.
