Oven-Roasted Halibut with Crunchy Panko Crust
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    In a bowl, mix together the panko bread crumbs and melted butter until evenly combined. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Pour enough chicken stock into an oven-proof skillet to cover the bottom; place the halibut fillets in the skillet.

  4. 4

    Drizzle lemon juice over the fillets; season with salt and pepper. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on each fillet; press the bread crumb mixture onto the mustard.

  5. 5

    Bake the fish in the skillet in the preheated oven until the fillets flake easily with a fork and the topping is browned, about 20 minutes.
