Gloucester Baked Halibut image

Try this delicious recipe that's great for a beginner to try cooking seafood. According to Oceana Canada, wild seafood is the perfect protein: it produces a lean protein at a cost-per-pound that is lower than other animal proteins, uses minimal freshwater to produce, emits little carbon dioxide and uses no arable land.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 garlic cloves, peeled
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning the fish
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup crushed saltine crackers
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 cup grated white cheddar cheese
6 to 8-ounce skinless halibut fillet (168-224 g)

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.
