Baked Halibut with Cilantro Vinaigrette

Halibut is a hearty fish that pairs well with strong, fresh flavors, such as this refreshing cilantro vinaigrette.

The halibut will cook quickly in the 400 degree oven. If pairing with another recipe that requires also requires an oven, cook the halibut last. Or, if temperatures are similar, cook together, but keep in mind it might add a few minutes to the cook time.

Cook Steps

  5. Transfer the baked halibut to a serving platter or dinner plates. Top each filet with the cilantro vinaigrette. Ready to serve!
