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.

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup butter
1 medium onion, chopped
2 lbs fresh halibut fillets (or thawed frozen)
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1 cup cracker, crushed (I use Ritz)

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.

HALIBUT WITH CREAMY GARLIC AND HERB SAUCE

This fresh dish is sure to please at your next dinner party! The red pepper flakes add a little kick, and toasted almonds add a delicious crunch. I like to serve this with orzo pasta or rice pilaf. This dish can also be made with fat-free half and half and low-sodium chicken broth for healthier options.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 (6 ounce) halibut fillets
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
2 sprigs cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons butter
4 green onions, finely chopped
¼ cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes
¼ cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 cup chicken broth
½ cup half-and-half cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
¼ cup water
toasted slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a shallow baking dish.
  • Rub the halibut fillets with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper. Place the fillets into the prepared baking dish, then press the cilantro leaves onto the top of the halibut. Bake the halibut in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the green onions, red bell pepper, garlic, and red pepper flakes until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in the white wine, and season with dill and tarragon. Simmer for 2 minutes, then add the chicken broth, half-and-half, Parmesan cheese, and remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice; season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then dissolve the flour into the water, and stir into the boiling sauce. Return to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes. Spoon the sauce over the halibut to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh halibut: Look for halibut with firm, white flesh and a mild, slightly briny odor. Avoid fish that is slimy or has a strong fishy smell.
  • Use a good quality cream: Heavy cream or whipping cream will give the sauce a rich, creamy texture. Avoid using milk or half-and-half, as they will make the sauce thin and watery.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings in the sauce to your liking. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs until the sauce tastes perfect.
  • Don't overcook the halibut: Halibut is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the halibut immediately: Creamy halibut is best served hot, right out of the pan. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Creamy halibut is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. With its creamy sauce, tender halibut, and flavorful vegetables, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a seafood recipe, give creamy halibut a try.
