Ingredients
Servings
4
- 4 halibut fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 lb asparagus, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for asparagus)
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (for asparagus garnish)
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.
-
In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, chopped dill, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
-
Place halibut fillets on one side of the baking sheet. Brush lemon-dill mixture evenly over the fillets.
-
Arrange trimmed asparagus on the other side of the baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
-
Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until halibut flakes easily with a fork and asparagus is tender with slightly crispy tips.
-
Remove from oven. Sprinkle asparagus with lemon zest.
-
Serve halibut fillets hot with roasted asparagus, garnished with lemon wedges for extra flavor.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I meal prep Lemon-Dill Baked Halibut with Roasted Asparagus?
- Yes. Portion it into airtight containers and keep toppings, sauces, or crunchy finishes separate when that will protect the texture.
- How can I increase the protein?
- Add a little more the main protein ingredients or pair the recipe with a compatible high-protein side such as Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, beans, or lean meat depending on the recipe style.
- Can I make it lighter?
- Use measured oil, lighter dairy or sauce options, and a larger vegetable portion while keeping the main protein amount steady.
- What should I watch when swapping ingredients?
- Keep moisture, salt, and cooking time in mind because high-protein swaps can dry out or firm up faster than the original ingredient.
Storage
Cool Lemon-Dill Baked Halibut with Roasted Asparagus before storing, refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 4 days, keep crisp toppings or fresh garnishes separate when useful, freeze only if the main ingredients tolerate thawing well, and reheat gently with a splash of liquid or a short oven, skillet, microwave, or air-fryer warm-up that matches the recipe texture.
