Baked Spicy Halibut Fillets

If you want a blackened look, sear the seasoned tops in a well greased skillet over high heat for about 1 minute before baking, and cut about 2 minutes off of the baking time.

Cook Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 to 2 pounds halibut fillets, cut into 6- to 8-ounce portions
• Extra virgin olive oil or olive oil spray
• Salt and pepper
• 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning
• 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
• 1/2 teaspoons dried leaf thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• Dash garlic powder

Preparation:

Heat the oven to 400° and position the oven rack in the center of the oven. Line a baking dish with foil and grease with olive oil. Wash halibut fillets and pat dry. Rub the fillets all over with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. In a shallow bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Dip the tops of the fillets lightly in the seasoning mixture, or sprinkle with the mixture if you'd like a more lightly seasoned fish. Place the fillets in the prepared baking pan, seasoned side up. Bake the halibut for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the fillets are cooked through ( a little less time if you sear the tops before baking).
