This recipe offers a delightful way to prepare halibut with a creamy and flavorful Parmesan topping.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a perfect texture for the fish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, juice of one lemon, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped green onions, and Tabasco sauce. Mix well to create the topping.
Mixing the topping thoroughly ensures an even distribution of flavors.
Place the halibut fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the fillets and season with salt and black pepper.
Lining the baking sheet makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Remove the halibut from the oven and spread the prepared topping evenly over each fillet.
Use a spatula to spread the topping smoothly and evenly.
Turn the oven to broil and place the halibut back in the oven. Broil for about 1-2 minutes, or until the topping is golden and bubbly.
Keep a close eye on the broiling to prevent burning.
Serve the halibut hot with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
Garnish with a slice of lemon or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added presentation.
