More Good Eatin' - Sour Cream & Cheddar Halibut

(click to enlarge)

Younger Daughter also prepared "Fred's Baked Halibut" (she doubled all the amounts shown here).

• 1.5 pounds of halibut
• 1/8 lb. butter
• Parmesan cheese to taste
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 16-oz. container sour cream
• 2 TB gourmet mustard or white-wine gravy (thick)
• 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded

Grease baking dish with spray Pam and pre-heat over to 350 degrees. Melt butter and stir in Parmesan cheese and lemon. Cut halibut into 1/2" thick portion and roll in butter mixture, then roll oiled halibut in breadcrumbs until coated. Bake in greased dish for 20 minutes.

Remove from oven and generously spread sour cream mixed with mustard or gravy on the top and sides of halibut fillet. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Return to oven and bake for an addition 20 minutes or until fillet is done. Sour cream should be slightly browned.

YD served the fish with lightly buttered pastina on the side; steamed rice is also good, but use your imagination.

I'm sorry I don't have any pictures of the presentation, but we were all crowded around the counter, grabbing food. I was afraid that if I stopped for photos, I'd lose out; turns out I was right.
