For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine or chicken broth to the bag before sealing. Feel free to substitute other firm white fish, such as cod or sea bass, for the halibut. If you don't have an oven bag, you can use a tightly sealed packet of parchment paper, but be extra careful of the steam when opening. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving brightens the flavors even further.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
3 mins
Add flour to a Reynolds® Large Oven Bag. Shake to coat the inside. Place bag in a 2-quart rectangular baking dish at least 2 inches deep. (3 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Place spinach in the bag, creating a bed for the fish. Sprinkle with finely chopped onion. Top with halibut steaks. (5 minutes)
04
Step

In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Brush this fragrant mixture generously over the fish. Arrange lemon slices artfully over the halibut. (4 minutes)
05
Step
2 mins
Close the bag securely with the tie provided. Cut six 1/2-inch slits in the top of the bag to allow steam to escape during cooking. Tuck the ends of the bag into the dish, ensuring it doesn't overhang. (2 minutes)
06
Step
1 mins
Place the dish in the preheated oven, making sure the bag has room to expand without touching the heating elements, walls, or racks. (1 minute)
07
Step
20 mins
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the halibut is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. (20 minutes)
08
Step
1 mins
Carefully cut open the top of the oven bag, being mindful of the escaping steam. Always support the bag with the dish while opening. (1 minute)
09
Step
2 mins
Serve the halibut immediately, accompanied by the wilted spinach and fragrant lemon slices. Spoon any accumulated juices over the top for added flavor. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper for a touch of heat, if desired. (2 minutes)

May 26, 2025I was skeptical about the oven bag, but it really does make cleanup a breeze. Plus, the fish is incredibly moist.
