When you want something light, fresh, and on the table fast, this Mediterranean-inspired halibut checks every box.
Diced zucchini, onion, and garlic get a quick sauté before being tossed with fresh tomatoes and basil, then spooned right over thick halibut steaks.
A scattering of crumbled feta on top melts into salty, tangy pockets as everything bakes.
The whole thing comes together in 30 minutes and feels like something you’d eat overlooking the Aegean Sea.
Kitchen Tips
- Use thick steaks: Halibut dries out fast. Look for steaks at least 1 inch thick so the center stays moist while the topping cooks.
- Fresh tomatoes make the difference: Ripe, in-season tomatoes bring a brightness that canned can’t match here. Save this recipe for summer if you can.
- Don’t overwork the feta: Just crumble and scatter. You want distinct pockets of tangy cheese, not a melted blanket.
- Check early: At high heat, halibut can go from flaky to chalky quickly. Start checking at the 12-minute mark.
