Ingredients
Scale
Fish
- 4 halibut fillets (about 6 oz each)
Topping
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish (optional)
- Lemon wedges
- Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish to prevent the halibut from sticking.
- Prepare Fillets: Arrange the halibut fillets in a single layer in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
- Make Topping Mixture: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
- Apply Topping: Spread the prepared topping mixture evenly over the top of each halibut fillet, covering the surface completely.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the halibut flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges if desired, and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
Notes
- This recipe is versatile and works well with other firm white fish such as cod or haddock.
- For additional flavor, try adding a pinch of paprika or cayenne pepper to the topping mixture.
- Serve with rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
