Baked Halibut, Mediterranean-Style

When faced with a flat white fish like halibut, two things usually come to mind: my baking sheet pan and an olive-oil based sauce.

You can make a great baking sauce for fish using quality olive oil,  citrus, and your favorite spices. And because we’re talking Mediterranean-style, let’s add a good dose of fresh garlic!

In my opinion, there is no such thing as too much sauce. Well, there might be, but not in the case of today’s halibut recipe. I make a generous amount of the garlicy flavor-packed sauce and I add some vegetables to complete the meal. And everything goes on my trusted baking sheet pan. A few minutes in the oven, and dinner is served!

This halibut recipe follows the Mediterranean diet; a bright and nutrition-packed meal. Still, the biggest selling point is that this halibut recipe requires only one pan and 30 minutes or less to accomplish. That’s a win for me!

What to Serve Along?

I like to serve this baked halibut with a side of Lebanese rice (or your favorite grain) to as a bed to the tasty sauce! To start, a bright and wholesome salad like Balela and a plate of creamy hummus.

Description

Make this easy halibut recipe with green beans and cherry tomatoes in 30 minutes or less! It bakes in a flavorful Mediterranean-style sauce with olive oil, lemon juice, dill weed and lots of garlic.

Scale

Ingredients

For the Sauce:

  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 1 cup Private Reserve Greek extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tbsp freshly minced garlic
  • 2 tsp dill weed
  • 1 tsp seasoned salt, more for later
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 to 3/4 tsp ground coriander

For the Fish

  • 1 lb fresh French beans
  • 1 lb cherry tomatoes
  • 1 large yellow onion sliced into half moons
  • 1 1/2 lb halibut fillet, slice into 1 1/2-inch strips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the sauce ingredients together. Add the green beans, tomatoes, and onions and toss to coat with the sauce (you can do this in batches if the bowl is too small).
  3. With a large slotted spoon or spatula, transfer the vegetables to a large baking sheet (21 x 15 x 1 inch baking sheet, for example). Keep the vegetables to one side or one half of the baking sheet and make sure they are spread out in one layer.
  4. Now, add the halibut fillet strips to the remaining sauce, toss to coat. Transfer the halibut fillet to the baking sheet next to the vegetables and pour any remaining sauce on top.
  5. Lightly sprinkle the halibut and vegetables with a little seasoned salt.
  6. Bake in the 450 degrees F heated oven for 15 minutes. Then transfer the baking sheet to the top oven rack and broil for another 3-5 minutes, watching carefully. The cherry tomatoes should begin to pop under the broiler.
  7. When ready, remove the baked halibut and vegetables from the oven. Serve immediately. If you’re looking to add a side, we recommend this Lebanese rice.

  1. I bought thick cod – I’m assuming this is a decent replacement. Love halibut but supermarket rarely has it

  4. I love eating halibut and this recipe is great. Really easy to prepare and cook, I lined my baking sheets with aluminium foil so even the washing up was a doddle.

  6. Wow! This dish is easy, delicious and beautiful! My husband keep raving about it during and after (and he rarely does that). This will go into my favourites.

  8. Outstanding! So easy when having friends over. I have a hot oven so the tomatoes popped at 15 minutes. I didn’t have to broil. It came out perfect. So for those of you with hot ovens, take a peak at 14 minutes!

  10. This is now one of my weekly go-to recipes. If I could not get fresh halibut, I have used the marinade for chicken and swordfish (different times), grilling it outdoors while the vegetables roast in the oven. It has always been so delicious and a big hit with friends over for dinner. So quick and easy which leaves more time for visiting. I have also shared your website and recipes with several friends.

  13. Made this last night. Fantastic. Only thing I would change is the broiling time (1-2 minutes). However after 3 minutes, the tomatoes got nicely caramelized. I also only cut the fish in half instead of portion size and it was cooked perfecty!

  20. This was a great recipe, except I might adjust my baking time. The fish was a tiny bit dry.
    But delicious.

  22. Just made this tonight for my family. I substituted asparagus for the green beans, since we’d have green beans last night. It was delicious. Only 3 people, and we just about cleaned it up. Wonderful! So glad I found your blog.

  25. Great recipe! I couldn’t find halibut, so I substituted flounder. I also couldn’t find fresh French green beans. I used the regular green beans instead, and the beans turned out tough. Can you cut those in half to cook better or will they still be tough just because of the type? I live in a small town and don’t have a lot of options for shopping.

    • Hi Nikki, thanks so much for sharing! If you use frozen green beans, just have them thawed out before hand. Or, give them a quick sear in just a little olive oil in a skillet to soften them a tad, then add to the sheet pan. You can change up the veggies as you like…so if zucchini is more available to you for example, I would slice some up thinly enough and use them in place of green beans…just an example.

  26. Delicious and extremely fast and easy. I added asparagus and because I had 4 pounds of halibut I used yellow and cherry tomatoes and cooked the vegetables and fish separately.

  27. Cool recipe! Cooking fish with other ingredients kinda make me uneasy. cooked the veggies and fish separate, combined them on the platter.

    You got halibut? Biggest sin is to overcook! 😀

  30. Curious if you used fresh coriander and dill weed or you can use dried of both herbs? I am about to make this and am new to cooking.

    Thanks

  35. Made this earlier this week pretty much exact except I substituted basil for dill as I’m not a dill fan. It was great! I roasted quartered baby red potatoes and that was it. Great meal, will definitely be a regular this summer!

  36. Well that was certainly delicious! I am not a fan of fish but know the importance of including it in our diet so I do and I gotta say this was wonderful!!! You made a fish lover out of me with this 🙂 I used haddock since halibut wasn’t available. I added some small colorful celebration potatoes that I quartered just because I had them. I didn’t have seasoned salt so I used regular salt and paprika. I give this a 5 out of 5. THANK YOU!!!

  37. This was delicious! I added some small yellow and red potatoes to the veggie mix. I boiled them for 20 min, smashed them and tossed with veggies. I also sprinkled a bit of grated parmesan on everything. One of the best healthy meals I have ever made. Thanks for the recipe!

    • Hi, Victoriya. This takes like 15 minutes in the oven, so it’s pretty quick. It depends how you like your asparagus though, if you like it to still be quite crunchy, you may want to watch and remove the asparagus a little earlier.

  42. I made this recipe a couple of weeks ago and it was such a big hit, I’m making it again. The only thing I changed was the amount of oil, I used 1/2 C. I also saw some fresh Japanese eggplant at the farmers market so I sliced them and added to the pan. I think fennel slices would make a nice addition too. Thanks again for this nice tasty recipe that is easy to make.

    • Hi Yoko! So glad you enjoyed this recipe. Love your take on it using Japanese eggplant. Fennel would be great here as well. It’s really an easy recipe to adapt and make your own according to ingredients you find! Thanks again for stopping in!

  43. This was crazy good and incredibly easy. We made it last week, using (1) frozen whole green beans (fresh may have been better but frozen worked okay), (2) 1 Tbsp each of the dill, coriander, and oregano, (3) 1/4 cup of olive oil and (4) whole filets of halibut. The flavors still worked beautifully. This will be a menu staple! Thank you for your delicious inspirations in the email inbox!
