Main Ingredients

4 pieces Fresh halibut fillets Look for firm, translucent flesh with a mild scent of the sea.
1/2 cup Mayonnaise Creamy and rich; homemade mayo can add flair.
2 tablespoons Citrus juice Lemon or lime juice for brightness.
1 pinch Salt Essential for enhancing flavors.
1 pinch Black pepper Freshly cracked for depth and heat.
1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder Better than fresh garlic in this recipe.
1/2 teaspoon Paprika Adds smokiness and color.
optional Fresh herbs Such as parsley or dill for garnish.

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, citrus juice, a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Place halibut fillets in a baking dish and spread the creamy mixture generously over the top.

Cooking

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Optional: Sprinkle fresh herbs on top before serving.

Don’t overcook the halibut; it should be flaky but moist. Allow it to rest for a few minutes after baking.
