BAKED HALIBUT

Some people might say you don't need to dress up a piece of halibut and it doesn't require much in the way of preparation and cooking.  I agree but I also like to have some variety and this recipe provides another way to cook halibut.  You could use other fish besides halibut.  Other than the halibut, the ingredients are standard staples that many would have in their fridge or cupboards.  Both the DH and I enjoyed this meal.

Fillet on parchment paper.

Topping is applied to the fish.

Just out of the oven and ready to serve.

Baked Halibut              

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup shredded Parmesan or Cheddar cheese

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup sour cream

1 tbsp all-purpose flour

1 tsp lemon juice

1 tbsp diced onion

dash of ground cayenne pepper

1 pound halibut steaks

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease a medium baking dish.

In a bowl, mix the cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, flour, lemon juice, onion, and cayenne pepper.

Arrange the halibut steaks in the prepared baking dish, and cover with the cheese mixture.

Bake 10 minutes at 425 and then reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and continue baking 15 to 20 minutes, or until fish is easily flaked with a fork.
