Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 lbs fresh halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill or parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onions or chives
- 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Place thinly sliced onions evenly on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Layer halibut fillets over the onions. Drizzle lemon juice over the fish and season with salt and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, dill, garlic powder, and green onions. Spread this mixture over the halibut.
- In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs with melted butter and sprinkle over the creamy topping.
- Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the top is golden brown.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with roasted vegetables, salad, or rice.
Notes
- Use fresh halibut for the best flavor and texture, but frozen (thawed) halibut works as well.
- Adjust the seasoning to your preference—add a pinch of paprika or cayenne for extra depth.
- This dish can be assembled a few hours in advance and baked just before serving.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated gently in the oven.
