Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 (6-8ounce) halibut fillets about 1 inch thick
1 cup of your favorite basil pesto (plus some reserved for serving)
1 cup walnuts or pine nuts, lightly crushed (If you don't have a mortar and pestle, you can easily do this in a ziploc bag, just lightly press on them with a rolling pin, bottom of a measuring cup, wine bottle...)
salt and black pepper
Lemon for serving
fresh basil for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Pat halibut dry with paper towels, and place on rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper, allowing for some space between the fillets. Sprinkle fillets with salt and pepper.
  • Place about 1/4 cup of pesto on each fillet in an even layer covering the entire top surface of the fillet
  • Divide the walnuts or pine nuts evenly over the pesto layers, each one should get 2-3 tablespoons depending on the size of your fillets.
  • Place baking sheet in oven and cook for 10-15 minutes until the nuts get toasted, and the fish is just cooked through and opaque.
  • Serve with extra pesto, lemon wedges, and LOTS of fresh basil!
