Ingredients
Fish and Topping
- 1 pound fresh halibut, cut into 2-3 fillets
- 3 tablespoons sundried tomatoes, chopped
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- kosher salt, to taste
- freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare topping: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, combine the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, mayonnaise, minced garlic, and dried oregano to create a flavorful topping mixture.
- Prepare fish: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the halibut fillets skin side down on the sheet. Lightly season the fillets with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Evenly spread the tomato and mayo mixture over the top of each fillet.
- Bake the fish: Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for 15 to 17 minutes. For fillets approximately 1 1/2 inches thick, 15 minutes is sufficient. The fish should be opaque and flake easily when done.
- Finish and serve: Remove the baked halibut from the oven, sprinkle the fresh chopped basil over the top for a bright, herbal finish, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Mediterranean-inspired meal!
Notes
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and aid clean-up.
- Adjust baking time according to thickness of halibut fillets; thicker fillets may require more time.
- For a lighter version, use low-fat mayonnaise or Greek yogurt as a substitute.
- Sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil add extra flavor but can be rinsed and drained if you prefer less oil.
- This dish pairs well with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
