Herbaceous Delight: Gluten-Free Baked Halibut with Lemon and Garlic

Ingredients:

• 4 halibut fillets (about 6 ounces each)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 lemon, thinly sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs (optional, for added crunch)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

3. Season Halibut: Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel. Place them in the baking dish. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the fillets.

4. Add Flavors: Sprinkle the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper evenly over the fish. Lay the lemon slices on top of and around the fillets.

5. Breadcrumbs (Optional): If you want a crunchy topping, sprinkle the gluten-free breadcrumbs over the fish.

6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque all the way through.

7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips:

• Gluten-Free Breadcrumbs: If you can't find gluten-free breadcrumbs, you can make your own by processing gluten-free bread in a food processor until fine.
• Lemon Juice: For an extra burst of flavor, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fish just before serving.
