Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Fresh halibut fillets
• 1 large (chopped finely) Yellow onion
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lemon juice
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon (freshly ground) Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Parsley
• 2 tablespoons (for drizzling) Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a bit of olive oil or butter.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes until translucent and softened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a creamy sauce.

Step 4

Fold the sautéed onions into the mayonnaise mixture and combine until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Place them neatly in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are not overlapping.

Step 6

Spread the onion-cream mixture evenly over the top of each halibut fillet, ensuring they’re fully coated.

Step 7

Sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the coated halibut fillets for a crispy crust.

Step 8

Drizzle a light amount of olive oil over the panko breadcrumbs to help them brown during baking.

Step 9

Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the halibut is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature of the halibut should reach 130°F (55°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.

Step 10

If desired, broil the dish for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end to achieve a golden-brown crust on the breadcrumbs.

Step 11

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the halibut rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for garnish before serving.

Step 12

Serve the Halibut Olympia hot with a side of steamed vegetables, rice, or a light green salad.
