Parmesan Crusted Baked Halibut
I love cooking Valentine's Day dinner for my husband instead of going out to eat; we get more time together, get to customize our own menu, and - if I do it right - there's leftovers the next day. This year, I made this delicious dish that had us both going back for seconds (and thirds). I love this recipe because it's simple and made from few ingredients, cooks fast, and you can easily adapt it for any white fish (cod, tilapia, sole).
Hope you enjoy!
