• Spread sour cream mixture over halibut.
• Bake halibut in preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes.

PAN SEARED HALIBUT RECIPE WITH LEMON BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Use paper towels to pat the halibut fillets completely dry - this will ensure even browning. Season the fish on both sides with garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes.
• Add the fish fillets in a single layer (you can do it in batches if all the fish won't fit in a single layer). Sear, without moving, for 3-4 minutes, until the edges of the fish are opaque. Flip and cook for 2-4 minutes, until cooked through.
• Remove the fish from the pan and cover tightly with foil to keep warm.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the same pan. Wait for it to melt, then heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the butter is browned and smells nutty.TIP: If you like garlic, you can also use this lemon butter sauce recipe.
• Use the Zulay Kitchen Lemon Squeezer to squeeze all the juice from both halves of the lemon into the pan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and simmer for about 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until volume is reduced by half. The lemon butter sauce will still be thin.
• Drizzle a little lemon butter sauce over each serving plate. Place the pan seared halibut fillets over the sauce, then drizzle more sauce on top.

FRUITY HALIBUT STEAKS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients; chill until serving., Brush halibut with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack. Grill halibut, covered, over high heat or broil 3-4 in. from the heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with salsa.

BREADED HALIBUT CHEEKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450˚F.
• Put the bread crumbs, cheese, parsley, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a food processor. With the processor running, drizzle in the olive oil. Process until the bread crumbs are coated in the oil, about 15 seconds.
• In three separate bowls, place the bread crumb mixture, flour, and eggs. Add the milk to the eggs and whisk to combine.
• Put a baking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes. Dredge 1 halibut cheek in the flour and shake off any excess. Then dip the cheek in the eggs and then in the bread crumbs, pressing the bread crumbs lightly to coat the flesh evenly. Repeat the process with each piece of fish. Remove the pan from the oven and place the pieces on the hot baking sheet.
• Bake the cheeks for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the bread crumb coating is golden brown and a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the halibut reads 140˚F. If additional cooking time is needed, continue to bake the fish, checking the temperature at 2-minute intervals. If you have a convection oven, turn it on for this recipe, as it makes the cheeks a beautiful brown color, but reduce the cooking time to 5 or 6 minutes total.
• Serve immediately.
