Spicy Baked Halibut

Spicy Baked Halibut

If you want a blackened look, sear the seasoned tops in a well greased skillet over high heat for about 1 minute before baking, and cut about 2 minutes off of the baking time.

Cook Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 to 2 pounds halibut fillets, cut into 6- to 8-ounce portions
  • Extra virgin olive oil or olive oil spray
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoons dried leaf thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Dash garlic powder

Preparation:

Heat the oven to 400° and position the oven rack in the center of the oven. Line a baking dish with foil and grease with olive oil.

Wash halibut fillets and pat dry. Rub the fillets all over with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. In a shallow bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Dip the tops of the fillets lightly in the seasoning mixture, or sprinkle with the mixture if you'd like a more lightly seasoned fish. Place the fillets in the prepared baking pan, seasoned side up. Bake the halibut for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the fillets are cooked through ( a little less time if you sear the tops before baking).
Serves 4.

Just try it!July 30, 2009By MsNegativeFilter
"I have never really tried to experiment with fish in the past, but after my father had a quadruple bypass, I decided to change my ways. So, I found this recipe, and love spicy cajun type foods so I though, what the heck? , It turned out great..with a few exceptions. The halibut at my local market was a little on the steep end for a weeknight dinner for four. It ran 9 dollars per fillet which were about 4 inches long at most. So, I opted for the less expensive Swai fish which was on sale for 2.99/lb. The butcher told me it was a mild fish. I have a NO FISH diet boyfriend, and I got him to try it. He loved it and wants it once a week now. I wonder if it is MORE tasty if I actually used Halibut? I seared it before popping in the oven, which gave it a great crispy texture. OH, and easy on the spices. A little goes a long way. I just sprinkled them right on the fillets instead of getting another dish dirty! Worked like a charm if you ask me! Nummy!!"
