Oven-fried buttermilk halibut is a delightful dish that combines the crispy crunch of fried fish with the tender, flaky texture of halibut. It is a healthier alternative to traditional deep-frying, using less oil and resulting in a lighter, airier coating. The buttermilk marinade infuses the fish with its tangy flavor, while the oven-baking method ensures even cooking and a golden-brown crust. Served with a zesty tartar sauce and a side of roasted vegetables, this dish is sure to be a hit with seafood lovers of all ages.

OVEN FRIED BUTTERMILK HALIBUT
This recipe makes a very moist halibut main dish. I have a recipe for another 'Oven Fried Buttermilk' using chicken, and, as I like to experiment, I decided to try it with halibut. The only changes I made were the main ingredient and the oven temperature.

Steps:
- Set a large resealable plastic bag in a bowl. Pour in the buttermilk and salt. Add the halibut fillets and close the bag. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 1 day.
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
- Place half of the crackers and half of the Greek seasoning into a blender. Cover and pulse until they become fine crumbs. Pour into a shallow bowl, and repeat with remaining crackers and Greek seasoning. Whisk eggs with water in a separate bowl.
- Remove halibut from the bag and discard the marinade. Dip fish into the egg and then in the crumbs until evenly coated. Place coated fillets into a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Do not let them touch, as they will weld themselves together. Drizzle the butter on top of the fish.
- Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 45 minutes.

SECRET FRIED HALIBUT
This is by far the BEST fried halibut I have EVER had! (That really says a lot being from Alaska you know hehe). Simple and delicious with a "secret" ingredient that will knock your socks off! Even my kids like it and they do not like fish at all. I find the perfect meal with this fish is "sticky rice" and creamed corn, but you decide for yourself!

Steps:
- Cut halibut into portion size pieces (this will vary with every family); set aside.
- In gallon ziplock bag combine all dry ingredients; seal bag and shake to mix. Add halibut pieces to dry ingredients and shake thoroughly again.
- In small bowl combine mayonnaise and mustard; mix thoroughly (secret ingredient!).
- Add some oil to skillet over med heat until oil begins to ripple. You will need to add more oil in small amounts at a time throughout cooking.
- Add halibut a few pieces at a time to skillet until full. DO NOT OVERLAP FISH. Cook until just beginning to brown on bottom side and flip. Once turned, lightly baste browned side of fish with mayonnaise mixture. Turn fish once more and repeat basting. The key to this step is to re brown basted sides of fish before removing from pan. The pieces should turn a deep brown (not black but close). That is when you know they are done.
- Serve while still hot. (May be kept in warm oven until all fish is done).

GARLIC-AND-HERB OVEN FRIED HALIBUT
Well most of it's done in the oven! The original recipe is from Cooking Light but I've made a couple modifications. While the fish is baking I deglaze the frying pan with a flavored vinegar (I use a tequila-lime vinegar) and a little water, then top the fish with the sauce before serving. Here's a great resource for more ideas on deglazing http://www.foodnetwork.com

Tips:
- Choose a halibut steak that is at least 1-inch thick for best results.
- To make your own buttermilk, combine 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or distilled white vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- If you don't have a buttermilk substitute, you can use Greek yogurt thinned with a little bit of milk.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet when baking the halibut. Leave at least 1-inch of space between each piece of fish.
- Bake the halibut until it is cooked through, but not overcooked. The fish should flake easily with a fork when it is done.
Conclusion:
Oven-fried buttermilk halibut is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this mild-flavored fish. The buttermilk marinade helps to keep the fish moist and tender, while the oven-frying method creates a crispy crust. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
