Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 halibut fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease lightly.
  2. Mix the coating: In a shallow bowl, combine Parmesan, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Prepare egg mixture: In another bowl, whisk the egg with Dijon mustard.
  4. Coat the halibut: Pat fillets dry, dip into the egg mixture, then press into the Parmesan coating until fully covered.
  5. Bake: Place fillets on the baking sheet, drizzle with melted butter, and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden and flaky. For extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end.
  6. Serve hot with lemon wedges and parsley.

Notes

  • Fresh Parmesan works best for a crispy crust.
  • Pat the fish dry before coating to help the crust stick better.
  • Don’t overcook—halibut dries out quickly!
  • Swap halibut with cod or sea bass if needed.
