My freezer is FULL of fish. My dad was out here visiting a couple of weeks ago and he
went on a big fishing trip.
He
sent me home with a whole cooler full of fresh Spring and Coho Salmon and fresh
Halibut.
I
am going to have to make one night a week fish night to get through it all! Not
that I am complaining, I love it!
I
decided for my first taste I would do something simple.
The fresh flavours of dill and lemon perfectly showcase the sweet flaky halibut,
it was perfection!
What
you need,
1
10-12oz. fillet of halibut, skin on
1
heaping tablespoon of butter, softened
1
tbsp. fresh dill, chopped
1
lemon, thinly sliced
Salt
and Pepper to taste
Heat
your oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In
a small bowl, stir together the softened butter and fresh dill.
With
a paper towel pat dry the halibut fillet. Place it skin side down on the
parchment lined baking sheet.
Generously
season the fish with salt and pepper. Spread the butter/dill mixture over the
fish.
Then
lay lemon slices over the top of the butter, overlapping if needed to cover the
fish.
Bake
for 12-15 minutes, until the fish is cooked through.
Serve
right away with new baby potatoes or rice.
This
is a super tasty way to eat fresh halibut, and it took no time at all.
If
anyone out there has a favourite halibut recipe let me know, I am going to be
eating a lot of it and I need some new ideas.
Thanks!
Jen
