Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly brush a pan with oil.

In a small bowl, gently mix the chopped pine nuts, Parmesan, garlic, herbs, cayenne, and olive oil.

Season the halibut with a sprinkling of salt. Carefully pat the nut/cheese topping over the surface of each fillet, pressing lightly to stick.

Set the fillets on the prepared pan and bake until the topping is golden brown and the fish is cooked all the way through when poked with a thin knife or skewer, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
