Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup butter
1 medium onion, chopped
2 lbs fresh halibut fillets (or thawed frozen)
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1 cup cracker, crushed (I use Ritz)

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



Charlie's Halibut Olympia image

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.
