Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
Lemon Mint Sauce:
- ½ cup Greek Yogurt
- 2 tablespoon Finely Chopped Fresh Mint
- 1 Garlic Clove pressed or finely minced
- Zest of 1 Lemon
- 2 teaspoon Lemon Juice
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Dukkah Crusted Halibut:
- ⅔ cup Dukkah Seasoning
- 1 ½ lb Fresh Halibut thaw and drain if frozen
- Salt and Ground Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- Zest of ½ Lemon
Instructions
Lemon Mint Sauce:
- In a small food processor, blend together the Greek yogurt, mint, garlic, lemon zest, and juice until smooth.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, cover and chill until use.
- Note: It will thicken up as it chills, so it’s best to make it ahead of time.
Dukkah Crusted Halibut:
- Preheat your oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and measure the dukkah into a wide, shallow dish. Set aside.
- If your halibut isn’t already portioned, cut into 4 equal pieces. Season on all sides with a little salt and pepper, set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and lemon.
- Use a pastry brush to brush a thin coat of lemon mayonnaise mixture all over each piece of halibut. One at a time, coat each piece of halibut with dukkah, gently pressing the seasoning against the fish.
- Arrange halibut portions on the baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until done - fish is flaky, and the internal temperature reaches at least 145 F on an instant read meat thermometer.
- For halibut this size, it’s usually about 15 minutes. About 13-15 minutes per inch of thickness is a good estimate.
- Serve the Dukkah Crusted Halibut hot, topped with Lemon Mint Sauce.
