Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 lemon, zested and juiced
• ¾ cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
• 1 teaspoon oil, or as needed
• 2 (6 ounce) halibut fillets
• ½ sweet onion, sliced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Sprinkle halibut with seafood seasoning; place into a container with a lid.

Step 2

Whisk balsamic vinegar, lemon juice and zest, parsley, thyme, and rosemary together; pour over halibut. Cover; marinate fish in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish; scatter onion evenly in the bottom of the dish.

Step 4

Heat oil in a skillet over high heat; fry halibut just until browned, about 1 minute per side. Remove halibut and place on bed of onions in prepared baking dish.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove fish; pour about half the marinade over the fish, discarding remaining marinade. Return halibut to the oven; bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 7 minutes more.
