4.6 from 88 reviews

This Heavenly Halibut recipe features tender, flaky halibut fillets topped with a savory Parmesan cheese mixture, broiled to perfection for a quick and delicious seafood dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Halibut and Topping

  • 1 pound skinless halibut fillets (thawed, if purchasing frozen)
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (softened, plus extra for greasing)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onion
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 12 dashes hot pepper sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven’s broiler and grease a baking dish with softened butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Topping: In a bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, softened butter, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped green onions, salt, and hot pepper sauce. Stir until evenly blended.
  3. Prepare Halibut: Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel and arrange them evenly in the greased baking dish.
  4. Broil Fillets: Adjust the oven’s top rack to about 4 inches below the broiler. Broil the halibut for 8 minutes, checking for flakiness with a fork to confirm doneness, which may vary depending on fillet thickness.
  5. Add Topping and Finish: Spread the Parmesan cheese mixture evenly over each fillet. Continue broiling for an additional 2 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and lightly browned.

Notes

  • The broiling time may need adjustment based on the thickness of your fillets to avoid overcooking.
  • Patting the fish dry helps achieve a better crust and prevents sogginess.
  • You can substitute green onions with chives or fresh parsley for a different flavor.
  • If you prefer milder heat, adjust or omit the hot pepper sauce.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
