• Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes.
• Remove from oven and top with Parmesan and return to oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
• Fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork. It should be white and moist.
• Serve hot with rice pilaf and a green vegetable.
• To half recipe - half all ingredients except butter and onion.
• Note: The ingredients will cover the entire pan. I have no way of knowing how many lbs of halibut that is since we catch our own and freeze it.

HALIBUT OLYMPIA

• Spread onion over melted butter and top with halibut fillets.
• Mix together sour cream and mayonnaise; spread over halibut.
• Top with cracker crumbs.
• Bake in oven until fish flakes and crumbs are lightly browned (about 20 minutes.).
• *Note* If you can't get your hands on fresh halibut, I've learned to cut all the brown parts off the halibut and then soak it in about 1/2 gallon of water with 1/4 cup lemon juice for about an hour. This usually takes out the fishy taste.
