The specialty of this delicious and juicy fish is that it's baked in the oven, resulting in a crust so crispy it looks like it was fried in a pan. It's all about the amazing breading of panko breadcrumbs (which are naturally crispier than regular breadcrumbs) mixed with butter, herbs, lemon zest, and shallots. Press the breading onto a halibut fillet brushed with a little mayonnaise, place the fish on pan-fried Swiss chard, and bake everything together in the oven. Since this dish is first cooked on the stovetop and then baked in the oven, you'll need to choose a suitable all-purpose pan.
