Baked Halibut with Crispy Panko

This baked halibut will just melt in your mouth! I like to serve this over quinoa kale salad. Also, please don't use regular bread crumbs as they are too dense.

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 ½ tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• ½ cup panko bread crumbs
• ¼ cup chicken stock, or as needed
• 2 (8 ounce) fillets halibut

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Stir together panko bread crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

Pour enough chicken stock into an oven-proof skillet to cover the bottom; arrange halibut fillets in the skillet. 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.

Step 4

Bake fish in the skillet in the preheated oven until fillets flake easily with a fork and topping is browned, about 20 minutes.
