Ingredients
- 1 bunch parsley, minced
- 1 tbsp capers, drained and minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, or more to taste
- sea salt, to taste
- cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1/2 c extra virgin olive oil
- 1 to 2 lbs of Halibut filet, defrosted and patted dry
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250 F.
- Season halibut generously with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil and slip fish onto a sheet pan. Transfer to oven and cook, uncovered, until flesh easily flakes with a fork, 18-22 minutes. Once you get to 18 minutes start checking and check often… you want to catch it early.
Meanwhile… make the salsa verde (you can also just pulse this gently in a food processor- Zip! Zip! Zip!)
- Chop the parsley until finely minced and place in a large bowl.
- Mince the capers and garlic and add to the parsley.
- Zest the lemon, then juice. Add both the juice and zest to the parsley, capers, and garlic.
- Add the red pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper and the olive oil to the bowl and mix until incorporated. Taste for seasoning and add more salt, pepper, and/or red pepper flakes as desired. For a thinner consistency, add more olive oil.
Once your fish is ready, place on serving dish and spoon the salsa verde over it generously and add an extra squeeze of lemon.
