Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Halibut fillets
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and season them on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Arrange the fillets in the prepared baking dish, leaving some space between each piece.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine sharp cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until the ingredients form a smooth, cheesy paste.
Spread an even layer of the cheese mixture over the top of each halibut fillet, ensuring they are fully coated.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the halibut is tender and flakes easily with a fork.
Turn your oven to broil for the last 2 minutes of cooking to brown and bubble the cheesy topping. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Remove the dish from the oven and let the halibut rest for 2–3 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a crisp green salad.
