Directions
1) Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with non-stick cooking spray.
2) Pat the fish dry with paper towel and season with salt and pepper. Place on prepared baking sheet 1/2 inch apart.
3) For the crust, in a medium bowl, combine panko, walnuts and Parmesan. Mix in melted butter, horseradish, Dijon mustard, parsley, dill and lemon zest to form a crumbly mixture. Divide panko mixture evenly atop fish and press gently to adhere. Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil on top of fish. Bake until cooked through, 12-15 minutes.
4) For the sauce, in a medium saucepan, heat 1 tsp olive oil over medium heat. Add shallots and stir for 2 minutes, until slightly softened. Turn heat to high and add white wine and lemon juice. Boil until liquid is reduced, about 6-8 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in 2 tbsp butter until melted. Remove from heat and add fresh dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve over crusted halibut.
