You won’t believe how easy it is to make fresh, flavourful and delicious almond-crusted halibut with lemon garlic butter this season.
Ingredients
- FOR THE LEMON GARLIC BUTTER:
- ½ Tablespoons Garlic, Minced
- ½ Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
- ½ teaspoons Lemon Zest
- ⅛ teaspoons Salt
- ⅛ teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
- ¼ cups Butter, Unsalted At Room Temperature
- FOR THE HALIBUT:
- 2 Tablespoons Lemon Garlic Butter, Divided
- 2 Fresh Halibut Fillets
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- 3 Tablespoons Ground Almonds
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Place the halibut fillets on a lined baking tray and set aside.
In a blender or food processer, blend together garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt and pepper until pureed. Add butter and continue to blend until fully combined.
Spread ½ tablespoon of the lemon garlic butter on the top surface of each halibut fillet, covering the surface completely. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper on top. Sprinkle 1 and ½ tablespoons ground almonds on each fillet and carefully spread over the butter to fully cover it.
Bake the halibut for 5 minutes. While halibut is still in the oven, set the oven to broil on high. Continue to cook for 5 more minutes.
Remove from oven and serve hot with a teaspoon of remaining lemon garlic butter on top.
