Halibut is one of those proteins that feels a little fancy—something you order at a restaurant or make for a special occasion.
But this baked halibut recipe proves that while halibut might have fancy vibes, it’s actually weeknight simple.
Fast and Easy. There’s no marinating time, very little prep work, and high heat means it cooks up lightning fast too.
No Dry Fish Here. That high heat baking for a short amount of time keeps the halibut moist and flaky.
A Beautiful Restaurant-Worthy Dish. Lemon slices add bright flavor as the halibut bakes, while rosemary adds a subtle, woodsy note.
Light and Healthy. This baked halibut recipe is naturally gluten-free and low carb. It’s also got a whopping 43 grams of protein per serving!
As I tested this recipe, I loved serving it with simple sides like Air Fryer Green Beans and Mediterranean Salad. It’s the kind of feel-good meal that’s light yet satisfying, which I always appreciate.
