Easy Baked Halibut Recipe with Crispy Panko Crust

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1.5 tablespoons butter, melted
• 0.25 cup chicken stock, or as needed
• 2 (8 ounce) fillets halibut
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a bowl, combine panko bread crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Set the mixture aside.
3. Pour chicken stock into an oven-safe skillet to lightly cover the bottom. Then, arrange the halibut fillets in the skillet.
4. Drizzle lemon juice over the halibut fillets, then season with salt and pepper. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over each fillet and press the panko bread crumb mixture into the mustard.
5. Bake the fish in the preheated oven until the fillets are cooked through and easily flake with a fork, and the topping is golden brown, approximately 20 minutes.
