Easy, full of flavor, and incredibly delicious, this Almond Crusted Halibut is the perfect anytime meal!

Sizzlefish Halibut is wild-caught in the pristine waters of Southeast Alaska, off Baranof Island, and size-selected to yield perfectly tender, flaky fillet servings for you to prepare at home. This light eating fish is an elegant treat and one of the highest-value seafood items. Alaska Halibut is also a naturally lean fish that cooks up white, flaky, and loaded with protein. Our halibut is also packed with vitamins and minerals such as phosphorus, vitamins B6 & B12, magnesium, Niacin, iron, zinc, vitamin A and Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids help to reduce the risk of irregular heartbeat, lower triglyceride levels and slow plaque growth in arteries, making this meal an incredibly healthy choice.

This recipe for Almond Crusted halibut is the perfect meal to serve when you have guests. Well, it’s perfect anytime since it’s so easy, but that is part of why it’s so great to serve when you have guests too. The lean, tender halibut fillets marry so well with the brightness of the lemon and the richness of the almond crust in this recipe. The halibut fillets bake so quickly too, so you won’t be spending a bunch of time in the kitchen preparing this dish. We served the Almond Crusted Halibut with a side of creamy buttery mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. However, if you want to keep the meal paleo or keto, this would be delicious with a side of creamy mashed cauliflower and steamed broccoli. Either way you go, trust us, you will be so happy you made this meal!

Directions

Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel. Lay the fillets out on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine the butter, lemon juice, fresh thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon zest, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Spread about 2 teaspoons of the butter mixture on the top of each halibut fillet, making sure to cover the surface completely.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the almond meal evenly over on each fillet making sure you fully cover the fillets.
Place the halibut fillets in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
After 10 minutes, watch the fillets carefully to make sure they do not burn. The halibut fillets should turn golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 130° F – 135° F.
Serve the fillets with remaining butter mixture and fresh lemon wedges.
