ROASTED GARLIC AND PARMESAN BAKED HALIBUT



Roasted Garlic and Parmesan Baked Halibut image

Fish can be intimidating for those who didn't grow up cooking or eating it. One of the best ways to ease people into eating anything unfamiliar is by smothering it in roasted garlic and cheese. Forget the old Italian maxim of not mixing seafood and cheese: they pair magically and make first forays into cooking and eating halibut easy to execute and even easier to eat.

Provided by Naomi Tomky

Categories     Halibut     Fish     Seafood     Garlic     Parmesan

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 garlic head
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 pound halibut, skin removed, in 4 even fillets
Kosher salt, as needed
Freshly ground black pepper, as needed
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375˚F.
  • Cut off the top of the head of garlic and brush off some of the outer paper skin, leaving just the individually wrapped cloves. On a piece of foil, pour the olive oil over the garlic, then wrap the foil around it and place it in the oven for 45 minutes, until it's completely soft. For the recipe, you'll only need six cloves from the head, but it's worth making a whole head to keep the rest for spreading on crusty bread or adding to salads.
  • Raise the oven temperature to 425˚F.
  • Heat the butter in an oven-proof pan over low heat. Sprinkle both sides of the fish with salt and pepper. When the butter is melted, add the halibut and put it into the oven for 10 minutes. The fish should be just cooked and opaque throughout.
  • While the halibut cooks, blend or food process together six cloves of garlic, the mayonnaise, and parmesan. When the halibut is done, pull it out and generously smear the mayonnaise mixture on the top. Switch the oven to a high broil and return the pan to the still-hot oven for 4 minutes under the broiler, until the top is almost entirely golden brown.
  • Remove and serve immediately.

Tips for Making the Best Baked Halibut with Savory Sour Cream Sauce:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality halibut fillets. Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, sweet smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade will help to infuse the halibut with flavor and keep it moist during baking. Choose a marinade that complements the delicate flavor of the halibut, such as a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices.
  • Cook the halibut until it is just cooked through. Halibut is a delicate fish, so it is important not to overcook it. The fish is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Make sure the sour cream sauce is thick and creamy. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the halibut, but not so thick that it is difficult to pour. If the sauce is too thin, add a little cornstarch or flour to thicken it.
  • Serve the halibut immediately with the sour cream sauce. The halibut is best served hot, so it is important to serve it immediately after it is cooked.

Conclusion:

Baked halibut with savory sour cream sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The halibut is flaky and moist, and the sour cream sauce is rich and creamy. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
