This Scandinavian Baked Halibut recipe is a classic dish that combines the mild flavor of halibut with the tanginess of cherry tomatoes and the earthiness of fresh dill. The dish originated from the coastal regions of Scandinavia, where fish is a staple food. It is a hearty meal that is easy to prepare, and the red potatoes make it a comforting and filling dish. The lemon wedges brighten up the flavors of the dish and add a refreshing citrusy aroma.

Instructions

2.Cut the potatoes in halves and coat them with flour, salt, and pepper. Arrange them in a single layer in a baking pan, then spray them with vegetable oil cooking spray. Roast for 20 minutes.
