Ingredients
Scale
Halibut
- 2 pounds skinless halibut fillets
Parmesan 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 Broiler: Preheat your oven’s broiler and adjust the rack so it’s about 6 inches from the heat source. This ensures your halibut cooks evenly and develops a nice crust.
- Prepare and Broil Fish: Lightly grease a baking sheet and place the skinless halibut fillets evenly spaced on it. Broil the fish for 8 minutes or until it flakes easily when tested with a fork, indicating it is cooked through.
- Make Parmesan 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 well to create a creamy topping.
- Apply Topping and Broil Again: Once the fish is cooked, spread the Parmesan mixture evenly over the top of each fillet. Return the baking sheet to the broiler and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and bubbling.
- Serve: Remove the halibut from the oven and serve immediately while hot for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Keep a close eye during the broiling steps to prevent burning, as oven broilers can vary significantly in heat intensity.
- Feel free to substitute green onions with chives or shallots for a milder onion flavor.
- For a dairy-free version, consider using vegan butter and a dairy-free cheese substitute.
- Adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce to taste if you prefer less or more heat.
- Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
