Description

These baked halibut fillets feature Dijon mustard, bright lemon, butter, and crispy panko bread crumbs for one of the best healthy fish recipes ever.

Ingredients

1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 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.
