Notes
- 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.
