  2. Chop the walnuts finely and mix them with grated Parmesan cheese and seasonings in a bowl.
  3. Pat the halibut fillets dry and coat each with the walnut mixture, pressing to adhere.
  4. Place the halibut in the baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes until fish is opaque and flakes easily.

  6. Add white wine and reduce by half, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. Stir in fresh lemon juice and season to taste, simmering for 2-3 more minutes.
  8. Serve the halibut plated with warm lemon wine sauce spooned over the top.
