  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  3. Place the halibut fillets on a baking sheet lined with foil. Season them with salt and pepper.
  4. Divide the goat cheese mixture evenly and press it gently onto the top of each halibut fillet, creating a thick crust.
  5. Place the baking sheet with the halibut fillets under the broiler and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
