Ingredients
Scale
Halibut Fillets
- 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 position the rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Prepare a baking sheet by greasing it lightly to prevent sticking.
- Broil Halibut: Place the skinless halibut fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Broil the fish for 8 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork, ensuring it is cooked through yet moist.
- Prepare 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 thoroughly to create a creamy, flavorful topping.
- Top and Broil Again: After the initial broil, spread the Parmesan mixture evenly over each halibut fillet. Return the baking sheet to the broiler and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove the halibut from the oven, serve hot, and enjoy this quick, savory seafood meal.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper to the Parmesan mixture.
- If you prefer a milder topping, reduce or omit the hot pepper sauce.
- Make sure to monitor the broiler closely during the final step as the topping can burn quickly.
- The recipe is best served immediately for optimal texture and flavor.
