Ingredients
Scale
Halibut
- 2 pounds skinless halibut fillets
Topping
- 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 and prepare: Preheat the oven broiler and position the rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Lightly grease a baking sheet and arrange the skinless halibut fillets on it in a single layer.
- Broil the halibut: Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook the halibut for 8 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork, signaling it is cooked through.
- Prepare the topping mixture: While the fish is broiling, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, softened butter, mayonnaise, chopped green onions, lemon juice, salt, and a dash of hot pepper sauce in a bowl. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy, flavorful topping.
- Apply topping and broil again: Spread the Parmesan mixture evenly over the cooked halibut fillets. Return the baking sheet to the broiler and broil for an additional 2 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
- Serve immediately: Remove from the oven and serve the halibut hot, enjoying the perfect balance of tender fish and savory, zesty topping.
Notes
- Adjust the hot pepper sauce quantity to suit your preferred spice level.
- Use fresh green onions for the best flavor in the topping mixture.
- Ensure the broiler rack is positioned correctly to avoid burning or undercooking the fish.
- This recipe can be adapted with other firm white fish if halibut is unavailable.
- Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
