Here’s a quick and easy halibut recipe for meal prep. When the budget allows, I enjoy incorporating fresh halibut into my diet. It’s less fishy, very fleshy, succulent and satisfying. It does not dry out quickly like other white fish such as cod.

Pair this with a complex carbohydrate like sweet potato or yam, or pile on some mashed avocado for a high energy treat.
For this recipe, we are using raw wild halibut or you can buy wild cod. Halibut is one of my favorite fish. I love making this recipe on special occasions or when I’m expecting guests.
When you are buying the halibut ask to smell it, because it should have to smell fishy or oceany, and that’s how you know if it’s a really good piece of fish.
When I’m preparing halibut fillets, I’m gently massaging the seasonings into the flesh.

I’m using garlic and onion powder, cumin, lemon zest, oregano, sea salt and cracked pepper. It’s a great combo for the baked halibut. If you like, you can place thin lemon slices on top. Some people make butter sauce but we want a low calorie recipe.
This fish is very easy to prepare. Bake the fish in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes, until it’s completely white. Then place the oven on broil for no more than 2 minutes to brown, sear the top. You will love the taste of seared halibut.

Make sure you don’t overcook and dry out the fish. It takes less longer to cook than chicken or beef. So, it is important to monitor your fish while it cooks.
Season with some salt and pepper. If you like, squeeze fresh lemon juice on the top.
Be sure to share this recipe with all of your friends and family. That’s all for now, fit foodies!
