Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin
olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1 1/4 pounds halibut, or
mahi-mahi, cut into 4 portions
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 1/2-2 teaspoons dried thyme
leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt,
or kosher salt
- Lemon wedges
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking
sheet with foil.
2. Mix lemon juice, oil, garlic and
pepper in a shallow glass dish. Add fish and turn to coat. Cover and marinate
in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, toast sesame seeds in a
small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until golden and
fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl to cool. Mix in thyme.
4. Sprinkle the fish with salt and coat
evenly with the sesame seed mixture, covering the sides as well as the top.
Transfer the fish to the prepared baking sheet and roast until just opaque in
the center, 10 to 14 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges.
