Baked Halibut with Crispy Panko

I was looking through the freezer the other day and found a Halibut fillet that my brother-in-law had given us a while back.  It was some that he had caught when he was at his home in Alaska.  Neither Strongheart nor I had ever eaten Halibut before (at least that we could remember 😀) so I went to the internet to find a way to fix it in the oven.  This one turned up and sounded good, so I gave it a try.  We both really enjoyed it!  Thought I would share it with you.

Baked Halibut with Crispy Panko

1/2 cup panko bread crumbs

1 1/2 Tablespoons butter, melted

1/4 cup chicken stock, or as needed

2 (8 ounces) fillets halibut

1 teaspoon lemon juice

salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)

Stir together panko bread crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until well combined.  Set aside.

Drizzle lemon juice over fillets; season with salt and pepper.  Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over each fillet; press bread crumb mixture into mustard.

Bake fish in the skiller in the preheated oven until fillets flake easily with a fork and topping is browned, about 20 minutes.
