Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) halibut fillets
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and place them in the prepared baking dish. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the top of each halibut fillet, ensuring all fillets are thoroughly coated.
Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
Once baked, remove the fillets from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Optional: Garnish with additional fresh dill or a lemon wedge for extra flavor before serving.
Serve the Sour Cream Halibut with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, steamed rice, or a fresh green salad. Enjoy!
