Here is your new go-to weeknight fish recipe: baked dijon halibut. I have never seen an easier fish recipe that is as tasty as this one. Halibut is a super delicious fish that comes out of the oven perfectly flakey. Best of all it cooks from start to finish in 20 minutes and won't make your house smell like a fish market.

Why halibut?

Halibut is a really fantastic white fish that has a neutral taste so it automatically takes on the flavors of whatever spice rub or marinade you cook it with. Unlike Salmon, which has a strong smell when cooked, Halibut almost has no smell at all. Halibut is incredibly flakey and easy to cut with a fork.

Should I bake halibut or cook it in a pan?

Since halibut is a very flakey fish, I do not suggest you cook it in a pan. Halibut is best cooked on a baking pan in the oven. Cooking halibut on the stovetop in a pan will make the fish hard to work with because at a point in the cooking process it begins to fall apart very easily. I suggest you use a big spatula and scoop the entire piece at one time to avoid it falling apart.

What are some side dishes that go well with this baked dijon halibut?

I love putting this baked dijon halibut on a bed of white or brown rice because the dijon sauce will drip onto the rice. In terms of great vegetable sides, broccoli is one of my favorites with this recipe. Sauteed spinach or asparagus both go equally well alongside this halibut too.

    Made this for dinner and it turned out great! Tasted really good. Usually we make pretty plain halibut but this is way better and still really simple!

    As others have said, very easy and tasty. 10 minutes was a bit too long for my taste, so I will cut back to 8 min. next time. I had fennel fronds that I used instead of dill, which worked just fine.
