Easy Baked Fish with Garlic and Basil

lb fish fillet

Salt and pepper

dry oregano

tsp coriander

tsp sweet paprika

garlic cloves,

basil leaves,

lemon

bell peppers

shallots,

Pat fish fillet dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.

Place the  fish in a large zip-top bag. Add the oregano, coriander, paprika, minced garlic, basil, extra virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Zip the bag shut and massage to be sure the fish is evenly coated in the marinade. Marinated for 30 minutes or up to 1 hour in the fridge (see notes).

Arrange bell peppers and shallots in the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish. Place the fish on top and pour the marinade over it.

Bake in heated oven for 15 minutes or until fish is done and flakes easily.

Fantastic recipe, and truly so easy to make on a busy/lazy weeknight. I used cod and subbed peppers (can’t eat those) with zucchini slices which  worked beautifully in the same amount of bake time. Thank you for this recipe. It’s going into my dinner rotation!

Just finished making this recipe. Flavors are delicious, so will be making this again.  I found the cod  I used to be a bit tough and the flesh tight. Thinking maybe the lemon in the marinade. I’m going to try to leave out the lemon and marinate as directed,  and squeeze it on at the end for a bright contrast  to the finished product.  What do you think?  The peppers make a great accompaniment to the fish!!  Thanks

Make this easy halibut recipe with green beans and cherry tomatoes in 25 minutes! It bakes in a flavorful Mediterranean-style sauce with citrus, olive oil, fresh garlic, and spices.

One pan Mediterranean Baked Halibut Recipe with Vegetables

lemons

Private Reserve Greek extra virgin olive oil

tbsp garlic

tsp dill weed

tsp black pepper

oregano

coriander

green beans

lb cherry tomatoes

onion

halibut

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the sauce ingredients together. Add the green beans, tomatoes, and onions and toss to coat with the sauce. With a large slotted spoon or spatula, transfer the vegetables to a large baking sheet (21 x 15 x 1 inch baking sheet, for example). Keep the vegetables to one side or one half of the baking sheet and make sure they are spread out in one layer.

Now, add the halibut fillet strips to the remaining sauce, toss to coat. Transfer the halibut fillet to the baking sheet next to the vegetables and pour any remaining sauce on top.

Lightly sprinkle the halibut and vegetables with a little more seasoned salt.

Bake in 425 degrees F heated oven for 15 minutes. Then transfer the baking sheet to the top oven rack and broil for another 3 minutes or so, watching carefully. The cherry tomatoes should begin to pop under the broiler.

When ready, remove the baked halibut and vegetables from the oven. Serve with your favorite grain, Lebanese rice, or pasta. It's a great idea to add a hearty salad like this Mediterranean Three Bean Salad. 

I'm new to eating/cooking fish, and this recipe is so easy yet flavorful and healthy. It's one of my husband's favorites (and mine!).  I've found it's forgiving if I don't have quite the right herbs on hand or if I use different vegetables. Thank you for sharing such a winning weeknight recipe!

Super easy to prepare. I used broccoli crowns and small chunks of zucchini and thin slices of potato. Added a bit more oil and fresh, finely chopped parsley, basil and chives. Baked on pan for 20 mins + 2 additional minutes under broiler.  Served with Forbidden Black Rice. Excellent!

We made this recipe tonight.  It was very easy to prepare.  We had nearly everything except for the green beans which we substituted broccolini (we would have used the green beans if we had them on hand).  It didn't take long at all to cook and the flavors were a perfect match for each other.  We had couscous on the side.

It plated perfectly, as well.  Simply beautiful colors and flavors.  Everything in the meal is good for you.  Very healthy.

Thanks for the delicious and easy recipe.  This one stays in our rotation.

This was really really good, husband loved it. I did halibut and shrimp, and used the extra sauce (I made too much) mixed with heavy cream and butter sauce to go over the cooked fish.  My husband said it was restaurant-quality excellent. He doesn’t even like fish and he loved this recipe. Thanks!

Incredibly delicious recipe.  Cooking time was more with my oven.  I added 1 bulb of fennel to the vegetables. Very easy to put together.
So tasty, healthy and appetizing!  Thank you for sharing your recipes for free; very much appreciated.

I'm a huge fan of sheet pan dinners and this one will be a favourite whenever I can get the freshest fish. I added some tiny potatoes  — no bigger than the tomatoes — and put them in first for about 5 minutes before adding everything else. Delicious!  I grew up in the Middle East and love Mediterranean flavors, so I will be trying more of Suzy's recipes.

I love this recipe keep doing it over a over so easy and practical ...thanks for sharing ...

What a delicious and simple recipe.   I’ve made it several times, and it’s great every time.  I cook the vegetables first for about 8-10 minutes before putting in the  halibut.  Then add it and cook at 325 for 12 mins, then broil for 3 mins maximum.  It comes out perfectly.   Thanks for the great recipe.

I brought home 30 lbs. of halibut from Alaska last year and have tried many different halibut cooking methods and recipes since. This recipe is my favorite! Not being an oily fish, I learned the hard way that halibut is easy to overcook and it gets dry and tough. Suzy's recipe adds the right amount of olive oil to keep the halibut moist and tender. It's an easy recipe to prepare, cook and clean up. I didn't have ground coriander but the internet suggested caraway seeds and cumin as a reasonable substitute so I used a 50/50 mix of those two spices and it worked well. I only had cherry tomatoes on hand so used those cutting each in half. Halibut fillets can be thin on the outer edge and pretty thick on the other side so I cut off the thin side and sliced the thicker part across the middle so I had three equal sized boneless pieces. The recommended cooking time was perfect! I toasted a couple pieces of crusty bread to go with and together they made a perfectly delicious and healthy supper! Definitely worthy for serving to guests! Thanks Suzy!!

Simple, flavorful, elegant, colorful, healthy - this recipe hits all the high marks!  Thanks for another winner Suzy!

Your recipe was delicious as usual. I substituted asparagus for the green beans, as that was what I had.  Another time I would start the onions off in the oven 5 minutes before the green vegetable and tomatoes to make sure they are roasted just a little bit more - just personal preference.  I also cooked the fish in a separate dish so that I could whip it out of the oven as soon it was done - hate overcooked fish.

I loved it! Really delicious and flavorful!

Such a great weeknight dish. So easy to make too. Thanks for sharing.

Love this one pan recipe! Love that I don't have to clean up a whole mess after supper.

Such an easy dinner, the sauce is just divine!

This dish was so delicious! I have never made fish before outside of grilled salmon. Will definitely be making again!

So good. Didnt make enough last time hubby wanted more!

Very good flavors!  Everyone enjoyed it.  I was not able to find halibut.  Used swai instead with zucchini.

Made this tonight!!! And holy moly is it yummy! My hubby has had some GI issues lately and hasn’t been able to eat much with running to the restroom. And my 5 y/o daughter is a super picky eater and she actually asked me to not only buy more halibut but to make it again for her!!! Absolutely my little love! I highly recommend and already shared on Facebook to let all of my mom friends know!

Delish! We used cod instead of halibut and also added fresh herbs from the garden (Greek oregano, thyme).bsyoer east weeknight dinner- thanks!!!

Very easy to make.  The halibut was very tasty, moist and juicy.

The flavors were outstanding. I would have given this 5 stars, but the fish turned out overcooked. I think 15 minutes in a 450 degree oven is too long for fish, not to mention the broiling at the end (which was necessary to caramelize the veggies). I think next time I'll marinate the fish for 20 minutes and grill it separately while the veggies cook in the oven. And definitely using fresh dill weed!

I rarely cook because of the time it takes.  I made this for dinner tonight and it was very simple and absolutely delicious!  I will definitely make it again.  Thank you for sharing such a great recipe!

I was not able to get halibut where I live so I substituted tilapia and for the veggies I used zucchini, yellow squash, red peppers, and onions...DELISH!  My 17 year old even ate it all!  Thank you!  Will be making again!

Loved this recipe I am always looking for quick fish ideas.  A few tips..I put parchment paper down on the sheet pan for easy clean up...tossed each veggie individually and then placed on the pan and finally I only used 1/2 cup of olive oil and it was plenty.  Will make again for sure!

Tried this tonight and had to amend the recipe due to lack of decent extra virgin olive oil and only one lemon.  I had a small bottle (approx 2/3rds cup) of Greek Kokkino dressing (which is mostly olive oil with red wine vinegar and greek oregano) - so used that instead of olive oil and the little bit of vinegar absolutely shone through.  Also had to use red onions and shallots instead of white onions and they really 'popped' with extra-yummy flavor!  This dish was a HUGE hit with my wife, who is a bit picky when it comes to fish texture and 'fishy taste' and the halibut was just perfect for this Mediterranean sauce.  I might be tempted to marinate the fish a little next time, to allow the flavors to penetrate more, but overall this was an unqualified success.  Thank you for this and i'll be searching for more of your recipes in the future, versus random google search by ingredients.

Andy here again... I forgot to mention I added asparagus to the veggie mix and it was fabulous with the tomatoes, green beans, red onions &amp; shallots!

Excellent recipe!  wonderfully delicious and tasty.  I love all you r recipes.  This knocked it our of the ball park.

Loved this, I used sea bass as this was what I had and added some cut up gold Yukon potatoes and kalamatas. I think I’ll use this dressing on all my roasted veggies from now on, so good! So good on the fish as well!

I tried this recipe last night except instead of green beans I used fresh asparagus.  I also used frozen (thawed) halibut.  Since it was just me and I used 2 smaller pieces of halibut I cut the sauce recipe in half.  I also just used cherry tomatoes, no onions.   It was DELICIOUS!!!  I cooked orzo for a side with some more lemon juice and parsley and drizzled a little bit of the extra sauce over it after plating.  Great dish!  I will make this again!

Made this last week with a B list assortment of vegetables from my fridge. Liked it so much I actually bought broccolini and grape tomatoes to make it again tonight. Yum.

Halibut is a mild and meaty fish that both seafood lovers and skeptics will enjoy, particularly with this savory blend of Italian seasoning, garlic, and fresh lemon and dill–think coastal Greek-Italian. The fish is baked in the oven for an easy, crowd-pleasing dinner that comes together quickly enough for a weeknight, but the halibut makes this recipe very dinner party-worthy. If you’d like a more budget-friendly fish, you can swap with any sturdy white fish, like cod, fluke, flounder, or turbot. Either way, serve with a fresh seasonal side.

Baked Halibut with Lemon and Dill

Extra virgin olive oil

Kosher salt

Black pepper

Italian seasoning

Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes, (or more to your liking)

dill

Get ready. Set a rack in the middle of your oven and preheat to 425°F. Lightly brush a sheet pan with thin layer of olive oil.

Season the halibut fillets. Sprinkle the fish all over with salt and pepper (about 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon each), Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes (if using). Arrange on the prepared sheet pan.

Roast. Drizzle the fish with extra virgin olive oil. Cut half of the lemon into thin slices and arrange them on top of the fish (keep the other half of the lemon aside for now). Bake on the middle rack of the heated oven until the thickest part of the fish flakes easily at the touch of a fork, for 10 to 15 minutes.

Finish and serve. Remove from the oven and squeeze the remaining lemon all over the fish. Sprinkle on the dill and serve immediately.

This baked halibut recipe is perfect for an easy weeknight meal and a family favorite.

Learn how to cook halibut that&#039;s perfectly flaky &amp; tender! This easy pan seared halibut recipe with lemon butter sauce takes just 20 minutes.

Halibut Recipe (With Lemon Butter Sauce)

6-oz Halibut fillets ((1.5 lb total))

Garlic powder

Paprika

Sea salt

tsp Black pepper

tbsp Olive oil

Salted butter

Lemon

Use paper towels to pat the halibut fillets completely dry -- this will ensure even browning. Season the fish on both sides with garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes.

Add the fish fillets in a single layer (you can do it in batches if all the fish won&#39;t fit). Sear, without moving, for 3-4 minutes, until the edges of the fish are opaque. Flip and cook for 2-4 minutes, until cooked through.

Remove the fish from the pan and cover with foil to keep warm.

Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the same pan. Wait for it to melt, then heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the butter is browned and smells nutty.

Squeeze all the juice from both halves of the lemon into the pan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the volume is reduced by half. The lemon butter sauce will still be thin, which is normal.

Drizzle a little lemon butter sauce over each serving plate. Place the pan seared halibut fillets over the sauce, then drizzle more sauce on top.

Fantastic and super easy. Excellent flavor too. I’ve saved this to use again and think it would be great for other proteins too.

Maya....this was simply outstanding.  I recently returned from my annual trip to southern Alaska with an ample supply of halibut, ling cod and salmon.  Wanted to try something different with the halibut so googled and found your recipe.  When you remark "restaurant grade" it is not an exaggeration.  Per one of your suggestions I added white wine with the juice from half of a lemon.  I will make the recipe again for friends and family.  Thank you!  Bill

Fresh Alaskan halibut was delicious with this simple easy recipe. I highly recommend it 👌

What a disappointment! Spent a small fortune on the halibut which was great but the brown butter sauce was terrible.

My husband loved this recipe as did I. Full of favor.

I tried this recipe today and it was delicious. The lemon butter sauce was the icing on the cake.  I added a little more lemon to the recipe, it was perfect.

The Halibut was absolutely delicious.  Believe me I am a very novice cook and this turned out to perfection.  I was so proud of myself and the recipe was easy to follow.  I am now game from more adventure with your recipes.

I messed up . . . used too little oil . . . used too much lemon . . . but the dish was still fire.  I strained the sauce after adding some tarragon, then added heavy cream and cooked a little longer.  The resulting sauce on its own was still too lemony, but when matched with the seasonings on the fish (I put Mrs. Dash also), it was the bomb.
