Tips:

Use fresh halibut fillets. Fresh halibut will give your enchiladas the best flavor and texture.
Season the halibut fillets well. Halibut is a mild-flavored fish, so it's important to season it well before cooking. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Cook the halibut fillets until they are just cooked through. Do not overcook the halibut, or it will become dry and tough.
Use a flavorful enchilada sauce. The enchilada sauce is what really makes these enchiladas special. Choose a sauce that has a good balance of heat and flavor.
Top the enchiladas with plenty of cheese. Cheese is what makes these enchiladas so rich and satisfying. Use a combination of cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese.
Bake the enchiladas until they are golden brown and bubbly. This will ensure that the enchiladas are heated through and the cheese is melted and gooey.

Mom's Halibut Enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The halibut is tender and flavorful, the enchilada sauce is rich and flavorful, and the cheese is melted and gooey. These enchiladas are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
