Ingredients

2 halibut fillets, about 12 oz total (340 g total)
2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp (8 g) fresh dill, chopped
1 tbsp (4 g) fresh thyme, chopped
1 tsp (5 g) lemon zest
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

1. **Preheat the Oven**: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. **Prepare the Herb Mixture**: In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, chopped fresh thyme, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
3. **Season the Fillets**: Place halibut fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and spread the herb mixture evenly over the top of each fillet.
4. **Bake the Fillets**: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
5. **Serve**: Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.

Both recipes offer a delightful way to enjoy the fresh, mild flavor of halibut.
