Oven Roasted Halibut with Olive Oil and Meyer Lemon Zest
I love really fresh fish, simply prepared, with just a little olive oil. Meyer lemons, with a hint of sweetness, add a subtle taste to the finished dish. Alaskan halibut is a wonderful choice for this preparation.
4 halibut fillets, about 1-inch thick and a total weight of about 1 1/2 pounds
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons finely grated Meyer lemon zest
2 tablespoons Meyer lemon juice
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Film a baking dish with about 1/3 of the olive oil.
Season the fillets on both sides with the salt and pepper and place them in the baking dish.
Drizzle with another 1/3 of the olive oil and put the baking dish in the oven. Roast the steaks until they are opaque and flake easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven, drizzle on the lemon juice and the remaining olive oil, then sprinkle with the lemon zest.
