Charlies Halibut Olympia Recipes

CHARLIE'S HALIBUT OLYMPIA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Cut halibut into entree size portions - approximately 3x4 inches.
• Chop onions finely and sprinkle in 13x9x2 baking pan and pour melted butter over top.
• Place halibut filets in single layer over top of onions.
• Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt, pepper, basil and thyme.
• Cover halibut with sauce and top with bread crumbs.
• Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes.
• Remove from oven and top with Parmesan and return to oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
• Fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork. It should be white and moist.
• Serve hot with rice pilaf and a green vegetable.
• To half recipe - half all ingredients except butter and onion.
• Note: The ingredients will cover the entire pan. I have no way of knowing how many lbs of halibut that is since we catch our own and freeze it.

CRUSTED HALIBUT OLYMPIA

Steps:

• Place filets in a baking dish and sprinkle with seafood seasoning and half of the bread crumbs.
• Mix next 5 ingredients together and completely cover the filets with the mixture.
• Finish by covering the topping with more breadcrumbs.
• Bake at 350 for approximately 45 minutes or until the fish is done.

CREAMY HALIBUT OLYMPIA

Steps:

• Season halibut fillets with salt and pepper.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; add onion. Cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add wine; simmer until slightly reduced but still juicy, about 5 minutes. Pour mixture into the bottom of a baking pan. Place seasoned halibut on top.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic, seafood seasoning, white pepper, paprika, and dill in a bowl. Season with salt. Pour on top of halibut. Sprinkle green onions, panko, and capers on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.

HALIBUT OLYMPIA

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.

LOCALS-ONLY HALIBUT OLYMPIA

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. In a medium sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook just until it's translucent, 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Season with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Set aside to cool completely.
• In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, cheese and a few drops of Tabasco. Mix by hand until smooth. Season with one-fourth teaspoons salt and a pinch of pepper to taste.
• Butter the bottom of a 12-inch by 8-inch casserole and cover evenly with the onion. Season the halibut with one-fourth teaspoons salt and a pinch of pepper and cut into 8 pieces. Place the halibut fillets on top of the onion and spread with the seasoned mayonnaise.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the panko bread crumbs, butter and parsley, and season with one-eighth teaspoons salt and a pinch of pepper. Sprinkle the topping over the mayonnaise. Put the casserole in the oven and bake until the topping is golden and bubbles slightly, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
