Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Melt butter; pour into bottom of 13X9-inch baking pan.
- Spread onion over melted butter and top with halibut fillets.
- Mix together sour cream and mayonnaise; spread over halibut.
- Top with cracker crumbs.
- Bake in oven until fish flakes and crumbs are lightly browned (about 20 minutes.).
- *Note* If you can't get your hands on fresh halibut, I've learned to cut all the brown parts off the halibut and then soak it in about 1/2 gallon of water with 1/4 cup lemon juice for about an hour. This usually takes out the fishy taste.
CHARLIE'S HALIBUT OLYMPIA
This is my version of a very popular local dish. Even people who don't like fish enjoy this. If your family doesn't like the fishy taste make sure to cut off pieces with a brown tint to them - that is the fat and it does taste fishy. Can substitute any white mild fish, chicken or even Salmon.
