Calories: 217kcal
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ⅓ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 pound halibut filet
- 1 tomato diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
In a 9x13 inch casserole dish whisk together the first 8 ingredients.
Place the halibut fillet in the casserole dish, then flip it over to get some of the marinade on both sides. You can also cut the halibut fillet into smaller individual pieces, if preferred. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for about 30 minutes to 2 hours in the fridge.
Preheat your oven to 350℉.
Remove the plastic wrap from the casserole dish and place the dish in the oven. Bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
Serve immediately, garnished with some parsley and/or chopped tomatoes, if desired.
- If you don't have halibut, feel free to substitute with cod or salmon.
- Keep an eye on the oven; fish cooks quickly and you don't want to overdo it.
- Fresh lemon juice works best for the marinade to give it a vibrant, fresh flavor.
- Let the fish rest for a few minutes after baking for maximum juiciness.
