Here’s one of my favorite fast and easy recipes for busy weeknights that can also impress a table full of guests at a dinner party. Plus, it’s made in the oven so you can make it all year long. But just because these aren’t on the grill doesn’t mean they don’t scream ‘SUMMER’… I mean, check out these sweet little parcels of deliciousness!
I was a halibut newbie but now I’m hooked (pardon the pun). Fresh halibut is in season so get it while you can! But don’t stress if you can’t find it or if it’s too pricey. This is a dish you can make with most white fish such as cod, tilapia, and haddock. I’m currently on a dairy-free diet so I’ve made this with coconut spread instead of butter and it’s still tasty. So here you go– my go-to healthy recipe for busy weeknights. Enjoy!
Halibut Parcels with Lemon & Dill
Ingredients
- 4 fillets halibut or another firm white fish 6 oz. each
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 8 slices lemon
- 1 Tbsp butter or coconut spread, if going dairy free-- quartered
- 4 tsp fresh dill
- parchment paper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Cut 4 squares of parchment paper, about 15 inches each. Fold each in half, then unfold. Place fish near crease on open parchment paper. Sprinkle each with salt & pepper; top with lemon pieces, butter, and dill.
- Fold up sides of parchment paper and seal edges by using narrow folds. Place packets on a cookie sheet in the oven.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the packets are puffy and slightly browned. Remove from oven, place on plates, and open packets carefully. Voila! Your own portion of delicious halibut.

This looks wonderful and so easy! I’m eating low carb and this fits right in there. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
YUM! We do this same thing with salmon….lemon, onion slices underneath, butter, and greek seasoning…yum!
I need to get more fish into our diet. I am pinning this one to make this spring and summer.
We have been trying to incorporate more fish in our diet too. This looks DELISH!!!
These are definitely going on a meal plan for us! We have been trying to eat more fish lately and this looks so yummy!
That looks delicious!
I have never made a recipe with parchment paper, but I always wanted to try it.
my husband and daughter would love this recipe 🙂
and your using coconut oil? I just started and love it!
I actually used a coconut spread (like margarine but it’s dairy free and made with coconut) though I might try the coconut oil next time. That stuff is so good for you! Do you like using it so far?
I’ve never tried coconut spread, I’ll have to check it out! I’ve only used the coconut oil once and it was this week when I made an eggplant + bok choy stir fry and it was awesome. melts super fast and turns clear. Had a super mild flavor, but I was making a coconut milk + peanut sauce anyway. I’ll have to try it with other things … but so far so good!
