Ingredients

  • 3 oz plain bread crumbs
  • 3/4 tbsp dried lemon peel
  • 1/4 tsp dried orange peel
  • 6 halibut steaks (8 oz each)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

Preparation (Serves 6)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine bread crumbs, lemon peel and orange peel. Mix well.

Place fillets in a 13 x 9-inch pan and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and fish is firm and flakes easily.
