Herb and lemon-baked halibut

Leveraging fresh herbs and citrus, this simple dish takes mild-tasting halibut to next-level status in just 25 minutes. When buying halibut, look for a cut that has a translucent or glossy appearance and smells of the ocean or has no smell at all to indicate that it’s fresh. To test for doneness, use a fork to see if the fish is tender and easily flakes into chunks. You’ll need to buy just one lemon to yield enough zest while still having a remaining half to cut into wedges. That last hit of citrus squeezed on after the halibut is cooked is not to be missed. Pair this fish with a simple spinach salad drizzled with your favorite vinaigrette for a quick weeknight dinner.
