Gloucester Baked Halibut Recipes

GLOUCESTER BAKED HALIBUT

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Add garlic and salt to olive oil in its measuring cup. Let steep for 30 minutes (or longer, time permitting).
• 2. Place the saltines and thyme in a medium bowl. Pour in a quarter cup of infused olive oil, leaving the sliced garlic behind in the cup. Coat all of the crumbs with olive oil. Fold in cheese.
• 3. Spread crumbs on a plate. Brush each fish fillet all over with remaining oil and season with salt. Use any oil left in the cup to grease a rimmed baking sheet. Roll fish on all sides in the crumbs, pressing to coat well and trying to use all of the crumbs. Put fish on a baking sheet, leaving an inch or so between each fillet.
• 4. Bake until crumbs are crisp and golden and fish is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
