My Dukkah Crusted Halibut recipe is elegant, but super easy to make. Lemon mint sauce is the perfect compliment to the richness of the dish!<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Halibut is one of those foods that I LOVE... but don\u2019t indulge in often, due to the cost.<\/p>\n

So, on the occasions I can stomach the sticker shock, I like to fancy it up a bit. My homemade halibut dishes tend to be more along the \u201cfancy restaurant\u201d type vibe, rather than the \u201cbattered and deep fried\u201d thing.<\/p>\n

(Not to knock fried fish... but there are plenty of places that offer it - including gluten free options! - in my area!).<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve only posted a couple of those recipes so far - Almond Crusted Halibut with Lemon Dill Cream Sauce<\/a>, and Cashew Crusted Halibut with Mango Salsa and Coconut Rice <\/a> ... <\/p>\n

.... but this easy baked halibut recipe might just be my favourite way to prepare halibut, to date!<\/p><\/div>\n

Instead of coating this flaky white fish with bread crumbs, it\u2019s crusted with Dukkah seasoning. Whether you make it (Pistachio Dukkah Recipe<\/a>) or buy it, it\u2019s brings a lot of great flavor to this fish recipe.<\/p>\n

I think it might just be my best halibut recipe yet... and hey, it\u2019s gluten free AND a relatively low carb option.<\/p>\n

This easy halibut recipe is also easy enough for a quick weeknight meal, but fancy enough to be a great option for date nights, at a dinner party, or other special occasions.<\/p>\n

Gotta love versatility like that!<\/p>\n

Anyway, let\u2019s look at what you\u2019ll need to have on hand, to make this delicious baked halibut for yourself!<\/p><\/div>\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n

This recipe uses ingredients that are MOSTLY easy to find in stores... one of the main ingredients you might have trouble with, but you\u2019ll have no problem finding the stuff to MAKE it.<\/p>\n

And honestly, homemade is much better!<\/p>\n

Anyway, some ingredient notes for you:<\/p>\n

Fresh Halibut<\/h4>\n

Well, unless you live right on the coast, you\u2019re not likely to get fresh fish, so what you\u2019re really looking for here are good quality halibut fillets that were quick frozen while very fresh.<\/p>\n

Realistically, most frozen halibut filets are going to be good quality. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen off-brand or poorly processed halibut fish fillets.<\/p>\n

I digress.<\/p>\n

This is a very lean fish that generally comes in thick chunks, with a large flake to them. <\/p>\n

Thaw them in cold water for a few hours, or in the fridge overnight. Once thawed, drain and pat them dry with a paper towel before using them.<\/p>\n

Not able to get halibut, or suffering from sticker shock? Use any firm white fish you like - just keep an eye on the baking time. Thinner fillets = less baking time needed!<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Dukkah Seasoning<\/h4>\n

This is a delicious Egyptian spice mixture. It\u2019s not SPICY, but warm and earthy. The flavours come from all the roasted nuts and seeds in it.<\/p>\n

This can be difficult to find in grocery stores, but SO easy to make at home. Try my Pistachio Dukkah<\/a> - it\u2019s what I use for this recipe!<\/div>\n

\n

Everything Else<\/h4>\n

Rounding out this recipe, you will need:<\/p>\n

Lemons - for fresh lemon juice & lemon zest
\nGreek Yogurt
\nMayonnaise
\nFresh Mint
\nGarlic Cloves
\nGround Black Pepper
\nSalt<\/p>\n

... as always, I don\u2019t have anything else to add, as far as these last few items go. Pretty simple ingredients, no substitution notes to give!<\/p><\/div>\n
