Halibut with Fresh Ginger
Firm, mild, and lean, halibut is one of the best white ocean fish you can eat. We cook this with a little fresh ginger for a taste you will want to revisit again and again. This recipe is a good example of how fish should be cooked: simply and without a lot of flourishes.
Ingredients
- olive oil cooking spray
- 1 1/2 lbs halibut fillet, cut into 4 pieces
- juice of 1 large lemon (about 2/3 cup)
- 2 Tbs olive oil
- 1 Tbs freshly grated ginger
- 1 Tbs chopped fresh thyme leaves
- freshly ground black pepper and sea salt, optional
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Spray a baking pan large enough to hold the halibut in a single layer with cooking spray. Lay the halibut in the pan.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, grated ginger, and thyme. Pour over the halibut, spreading the mixture evenly over the fish.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes when pierced with a fork. The size and thickness of the fish will affect the cooking time.
- Serve with the pan juices spooned over the fish. Season generously with pepper and with a pinch of salt, if desired.

Serving Suggestion: For a more elegant presentation, put each piece of fish in a small oval baking dish. Top with equal amounts of sauce and bake the fish for 12 to 15 minutes. Serve the fish in the dishes.
