Herb Crusted Halibut

Prep: 10 min
Cook: 25 min
Total: 35 min

Ingredients

  • 3lb halibut (or white fish)
Fish Rub
  • 1.5 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon mineral salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cracked pepper
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • juice from 1/2 lemon
Fish crust
  • 1/3 cup parsley
  • 1/3 cup cilantro
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1.5 tablespoon olive oil
  • juice from 1/2 lemon
  • 4 tablespoons capers, drained
  • spray oil
Garnish
  • fresh lemon

Steps

Step 1

Set oven to 400F /204C.

Step 2

Pat the fish dry with a paper towel.

Season fish with the ingredients in “fish rub,” gently rubbing all over the top of the fish.

Step 3

Using a cutting board and a sharp knife, mince all the ingredients for the “fish crust.”  Alternatively, place all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until a fine or spreadable paste has formed.

Rub the paste on top of the fish.

Step 4

Place the fish in the oven and bake for 20 – 25 minutes, or until it has cooked through and the flesh is flaky white.

Step 5

While the fish is baking, set a nonstick skillet on medium-high heat and once hot, spray with oil.  Add the capers and saute until seared and crispy/crunchy, about 6 – 8 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the fish from the oven, top with the crispy capers, and garnish with lemon (or your choice of a fresh herb like parsley).

Enjoy immediately while hot.  Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 – 4 days, or up to 2 months in the freezer.
