Ingredients
Scale
Halibut and Topping
- 2 pounds skinless halibut fillets
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 dash hot pepper sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Broiler: Preheat your oven’s broiler and adjust the rack to be about 6 inches from the heat source to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Prepare Halibut: Lightly grease a baking sheet to prevent sticking, then place the skinless halibut fillets evenly on the sheet.
- Broil Fish: Broil the halibut for 8 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, indicating it is cooked through.
- Make Parmesan Mixture: While the fish is broiling, combine grated Parmesan cheese, softened butter, mayonnaise, chopped green onions, lemon juice, salt, and hot pepper sauce in a mixing bowl until well blended.
- Apply Topping and Broil Again: Spread the Parmesan mixture evenly over the cooked halibut fillets and return the baking sheet to the broiler for an additional 2 minutes, or until the topping is golden and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve the halibut hot, enjoying the rich, flavorful crust paired with tender fish.
Notes
- Ensure the broiler rack is positioned properly to avoid burning the topping.
- Use fresh Parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust the hot pepper sauce according to desired spice level.
- Halibut can be substituted with other white fish fillets like cod or haddock if unavailable.
- Serve with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
