Recipe View 45 mins Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, approximately 45 minutes. (Time: 45 minutes)

For an extra crispy crust, consider broiling the halibut for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Feel free to experiment with other seasonings in the cracker crumb mixture. Lemon pepper, garlic powder, or a touch of smoked paprika would all be delicious additions.
If you don't have rye crackers, substitute with your favorite seasoned crackers or panko breadcrumbs for a gluten-free option.
Ensure the halibut fillets are of uniform thickness for even cooking.
