This Whole30 Halibut is one of my absolute favourite fish recipes. Halibut (or cod) is coated in a crust of sun-dried tomatoes, basil, chilies and almond flour and hen quickly baked in the oven. This dish is truly a show stopper and is incredibly quick to prepare! This Halibut is are Whole30, Paleo, Dairy Free, Grain Free, Gluten Free, and Specific Carbohydrate Diet Legal.

Truthfully white fish is something that I really struggle to cook. My go to way to cook it is with slices of lemon, garlic and a few fresh herbs, with although simple, is quite boring.

I think you are really going to love the flavours in this dish. The coating can be made up to 3 days in advance and can really be used on anything from white fish to chicken or steak.

I like using halibut for this recipe but cod, flounder, turbot or even seabass would also work well.

This fish is fantastic on its own, but if you are looking for a condiment to serve alongside, this tartar sauce works really well with it.
