Tips for Making Baked Halibut
- If you can’t eat pecans, you’re welcome to swap them out for another neutral-flavored nut or seed.
- For the best flavor and texture, I recommend buying a block of Parmesan and grating it yourself.
- If you don’t keep halibut on hand, you can likely use another flaky white fish in this recipe. Just note that the bake time may differ slightly.
