This is a delicious way to prepare fish that any devout red meat lover will appreciate. It's meaty and yummilicious. Any firm white fish will work - like halibut or cod.

How To Make baked halibut with lemon butter sauce

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400° F. Spray 13”x9” baking dish with non-stick spray; set aside.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and butter. In a separate shallow bowl, mix flour and seasonings. Dip fillets in lemon juice mixture, then in flour mixture to coat both sides; shake off excess.
Step 3

Place in prepared baking dish. Drizzle with remaining lemon juice mixture. Bake 12-15 minutes or until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork.
Step 4

Meanwhile, prepare Lemon Butter Sauce
Step 5

Mix parsley and lemon peel; sprinkle over baked fish.
Step 6

Lemon Butter Sauce: In a blender, process the lemon juice, garlic, and salt and pepper until the garlic is fully incorporated. While still running at a low speed, pour the melted butter in through the lid opening, blending until emulsified.
Step 7

Pour into a bowl and stir in lemon zest and any pan juices from the baking dish.
Step 8

Pour or spoon over fish which has been placed on individual serving plates, with a steamed vegetable and a scoop of cous cous or rice pilaf, alongside.
