Notes
Make certain your oven is fully preheated to 415°F.
Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to help avoid sticking.
Halibut fillets vary in size so cooking time will vary. Flake the fish with a fork in the center of one fillet to see if it's fully cooked. Insert a fork at an angle in the thickest part and twist slightly. The fish should easily flake when it's done and it will lose its translucent or raw appearance. The fillet should look opaque in the center.
Use a digital thermometer to make certain the halibut reaches 145°F.
If your halibut has the skin on, leave it on until after your fish is fully baked. Once fully baked, slice a spatula between the skin and the fillet and the skin will easily separate.
