Place them in the prepared baking dish and season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Prepare the Garlic Butter:<\/strong> In a small bowl, melt the 2 tbsp of butter and mix it with the garlic butter sauce and minced garlic. Pour this rich mixture evenly over and around the halibut fillets in the dish.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Add the Crust:<\/strong> Generously sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the top of each fillet, creating an even layer that will melt into a golden crust.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Bake to Perfection:<\/strong> Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. To get that signature bubbly, golden-brown parmesan crust, turn the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely so it doesn&#8217;t burn.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Garnish &amp; Serve:<\/strong> Remove from the oven, spoon some of the warm garlic butter from the pan back over the fish, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve hot alongside your favorite sides!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big, tender halibut fillets baked in a rich garlic butter sauce and topped with a golden, bubbly parmesan crust.
