Firm, mild, and lean, halibut is one of the best white ocean fish you can eat. We cook this with a little fresh ginger for a taste you will want to revisit again and again. This recipe is a good example of how fish should be cooked: simply and without a lot of flourishes.

Preparation facts

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

olive oil cooking spray

1 1/2 lbs halibut fillet, cut into 4 pieces

juice of 1 large lemon (about 2/3 cup)

2 Tbs olive oil

1 Tbs freshly grated ginger

1 Tbs chopped fresh thyme leaves

freshly ground black pepper and sea salt, optional

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Spray a baking pan large enough to hold the halibut in a single layer with cooking spray. Lay the halibut in the pan.

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, grated ginger, and thyme. Pour over the halibut, spreading the mixture evenly over the fish.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes when pierced with a fork. The size and thickness of the fish will affect the cooking time.

Serve with the pan juices spooned over the fish. Season generously with pepper and with a pinch of salt, if desired.

Serving Suggestion: For a more elegant presentation, put each piece of fish in a small oval baking dish. Top with equal amounts of sauce and bake the fish for 12 to 15 minutes. Serve the fish in the dishes.
