A speedy roast at high heat keeps the halibut moist and succulent,
and the savory thyme-sesame-crust adds a distinctive finish.

ACTIVE TIME: 10 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 35 minutes
EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy

1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp minced garlic
Freshly ground pepper to taste
8 ounces Pacific halibut or mahi-mahi, cut into 2 portions
1 Tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
1 tsp dried thyme leaves
1/8 tsp kosher salt
Lemon wedges

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
