Ingredients
- •Halibut, Fillet(907g)
- •Olive oil(23g)
Regular (not extra-virgin) olive oil for high-heat cooking. EVOO for dressings.
- •1 teaspoon kosher salt
- •Paprika, Ground(5g)
- •Cayenne Pepper, Ground(1g)
- •Lemon(100g)
- •Rosemary, Fresh
- •Flaky salt (such as Maldon or fleur de sel)
Instructions
- 1Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and arrange them in a single layer in a 9x13-inch baking dish or on a large sheet pan.
- 2In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, ground paprika, ground cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt. Brush this mixture evenly over the top of each halibut fillet.
- 3Slice the lemon into thin rounds. Lay one sprig of fresh rosemary on top of each fillet, then arrange several lemon slices over the rosemary. Drizzle with a little additional olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
- 4Place the baking dish on the middle oven rack and bake at 450°F for 10–12 minutes. Check the halibut at 10 minutes using an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part—it should register 145°F and the flesh should be opaque and flake easily with a fork when done.
- 5Remove from heat and let cool for 2–3 minutes.
- 6Divide the halibut fillets evenly into 4 airtight meal prep containers while still warm, distributing the lemon slices and rosemary sprigs among each portion.
- 7Seal containers and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a 300°F oven for 5–8 minutes until warmed through, or enjoy cold.
