Had any Good Fish Lately?

By Patty Liston
When I was growing up, the only fish I thought was worth eating was halibut. While the rest of my family feasted on scallops, crab, sole, and suchi, I always ordered halibut. Those days are gone, however, as I have adjusted my pallet to a variety of fish flavors and tastes. Thinking that you DVO readers may want something other than the meat recipes, I have found a few for fish that I think you will enjoy. Of course, the first one is a recipe for halibut!

Halibut Supreme

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon diced onion
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
2 pounds halibut steaks

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.

2. In a bowl, mix the Cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, flour, lemon juice, onion, and cayenne pepper.

3. Arrange the halibut steaks in the prepared baking dish, and cover with the Cheddar cheese mixture.

4. Bake 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and continue baking 15 minutes, or until fish is easily flaked with a fork.
