Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Season both sides of the halibut fillets with salt and black pepper.
3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter.
4. Add the minced garlic to the saucepan and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until it turns fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. You now have your tangy lemon butter sauce.
6. Arrange the seasoned halibut fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Drizzle the lemon butter sauce evenly over the fillets. Make sure every inch of the fillets is coated in the sauce to ensure a robust flavor.
8. Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. The fillets should be cooked through and flake easily when tested with a fork.
9. While the fish is baking, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a small skillet over low heat.
10. Stir the chopped parsley into the melted butter.
11. Once the halibut is done baking, drizzle the parsley-infused melted butter over the fillets.
12. Serve your Oven-Baked Halibut with Lemon Butter Sauce immediately for the best taste and texture. Enjoy this dish with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
