Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 halibut fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon capers

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly oil a baking dish.

  3. Place halibut fillets in the baking dish and drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil.
  4. Top each fillet with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing it down lightly.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until fish is opaque and flakes easily.
