Baked Halibut and Parmesan Crumb Topping Recipe

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 pounds halibut fillets
• 3 slices bread
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• Dash freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• Lemon wedges or slices for serving
• DIRECTIONS
• Heat the oven to 450 F.
• Spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or line the pan with nonstick foil.
• Cut the halibut to make four 6-ounce servings. Arrange the fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. 
• Tear the bread into pieces and put in the food processor. Pulse until the breadcrumbs are fine.
• In a medium bowl, combine the crumbs with the Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic and onion powders, salt, pepper, and melted butter. Mix well.
1. Sprinkle the buttery seasoned bread crumbs on the halibut pieces; pat down to help the crumbs adhere to the tops of the fish fillets.
2. Bake the halibut fillets for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the fish registers 145 F on an instant-read thermometer. Or test the fish for flaking with a fork (see below).
3. Serve the halibut with fresh lemon wedges or slices.
Serves 4.

Tips

To test fish for doneness, insert a fork into a fillet and twist it slightly to check for flaking. When it's done, the fish will flake into sections and it will be opaque.
