Baked Halibut with Crispy Panko

This baked halibut will just melt in your mouth! I like to serve this over quinoa kale salad. Also, please don't use regular bread crumbs as they are too dense.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs

  • 1 ½ tablespoons butter, melted

  • ¼ cup chicken stock, or as needed

  • 2 (8 ounce) fillets halibut

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Directions

 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Stir together panko bread crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until well combined. Set aside.

  3. Pour enough chicken stock into an oven-proof skillet to cover the bottom; arrange halibut fillets in the skillet.

  4. Drizzle lemon juice over fillets; season with salt and pepper. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over each fillet; press bread crumb mixture into mustard.

  5. Bake fish in the skillet in the preheated oven until fillets flake easily with a fork and topping is browned, about 20 minutes.
