HALIBUT OLYMPIA
We liked this recipe so much we had the caterer use it at our wedding. All the guests raved about how it was the best halibut they had ever had. It also helps to have fresh halibut.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Melt butter; pour into bottom of 13X9-inch baking pan.
- Spread onion over melted butter and top with halibut fillets.
- Mix together sour cream and mayonnaise; spread over halibut.
- Top with cracker crumbs.
- Bake in oven until fish flakes and crumbs are lightly browned (about 20 minutes.).
- *Note* If you can't get your hands on fresh halibut, I've learned to cut all the brown parts off the halibut and then soak it in about 1/2 gallon of water with 1/4 cup lemon juice for about an hour. This usually takes out the fishy taste.

CHARLIE'S HALIBUT OLYMPIA
This is my version of a very popular local dish. Even people who don't like fish enjoy this. If your family doesn't like the fishy taste make sure to cut off pieces with a brown tint to them - that is the fat and it does taste fishy. Can substitute any white mild fish, chicken or even Salmon.

SALMON/HALIBUT OLYMPIA
I got this recipe from a place I stayed in Alaska quite a few years ago. The chef was accommodating in giving it to me, but as you can see - no measurements. You get to "guess-and-by-gosh" it, or adjust for taste. Hope you enjoy it.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality halibut. Look for halibut that is firm and white, with a mild, sweet flavor. Avoid halibut that is yellow or has a strong odor.
- Cook the halibut gently. Halibut is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it over low heat or in a steamer until it is just cooked through.
- Use simple seasonings. Halibut has a delicate flavor that can easily be overpowered by strong seasonings. Use simple seasonings, such as salt, pepper, and lemon, to enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
- Serve the halibut immediately. Halibut is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to store the halibut, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for up to 2 days.

Halibut is a delicious and versatile fish that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you are grilling, baking, or steaming halibut, there are a few simple tips you can follow to ensure that your dish is perfect. By choosing high-quality halibut, cooking it gently, using simple seasonings, and serving it immediately, you can create a delicious and memorable meal that your family and friends will love.
