Something worth trying for halibut or rockfish is a super easy dish I came up with. Mix 1 heaping tablespoon of this with ~1/4 cup mayo (I prefer veganaise or Costco's avacodo based mayo) and spoon on top of fillets. Bake at 425 until the fillets firm up. Very tasty and simple to make. That sounds really good, as I'm a big fan of avocado vs regular mayo, not to mention curry. Tried Eileen's(Mule Deers better half) avacado based potato salad recipe(it's in her latest cookbook), and have been hooked since. It's a great sub if you don't care for mayo. Jeff

I love Hailbut, but mayo and sour cream? Are we 12? Food snob. Might not be for the more sophisticated palate, but would probably wash down well with a case of bud light.

I love Hailbut, but mayo and sour cream? Are we 12? When I read this I thought what a great way to ruin halibut, as I hardly season it. I’m betting halibut is about like eating salad for us. And no he’s not 12.... You know it's bad when you are walking down the dock in Feb and someone is filleting out a halibut and you turn down 5lbs of fillets. I can't eat it unseasoned or just plain. There is a food truck in town named Fish N Chicks. They make amazing battered halibut as well as just about everything else. Tempted to send the wife down there to work just to learn the secret.

After three attempts, I mastered Halibut Olympia.
Preheat 375
Melt butter in bottom of pyrex dish. Put in lots of onions. Cut fresh halibut in 3/4-1" strips. Pat as dry as you can. Put two strips of hali on onions. Salt & Pepper
Cover with a 50-50 mix of Mayo and Sour Creme.
Bake 20 minutes. Pull out, put on lots of grated cheddar cheese. Bake 3 more minutes.
It's really good. My first two attempts I didn't pat dry and cut my pieces too thick resulting in too much halibut and not enough goop.
Tomorrow I will try mixing some hot sauce in the the mayo/sour cream mixture. I've got a good hunk of halibut in fridge I am working on.
I did some guessing at the missing data and took the advice provided by Calvin....it's spectacular!!!!! Here is what I did preheat oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit melt 4 tablespoons butter in 2 1/2 quart baking dish Finely slice (1/16" thick) one medium sweet onion and bisect to not have rings but 1/4 circles and add to melted butter Cut fish (one pound of Halibut in this case) to strips approximately 1/2" X 1/2" by the length of the fillet but not longer than the baking dish.....use this fish to cover the onion. NOTE: The fish to be thoroughly patted dry with paper towels....I destroyed a dozen paper towel sheets doing this.....dry is good in this case Mix 2/3 cup sour cream and 2/3 cup mayonnaise, 1 tsp dill seed, 1 tsp dill weed and 1/2 tsp black pepper fine grind....add to the baking dish thoroughly covering the fish. Bake 30 minutes at 375 degrees uncovered remove from the oven and add 6 ounces shredded mild cheddar cheese and bake another three minutes. It's now dinner time.....if you don't like this see a doctor as there's something radically wrong with your taste buds.

I put the charter boat in the water yesterday for some harvesting. Since they shut us down for commercial trolling, it's full harvest mode till charter season for me. Going to prospect a bunch of new halibut spots I've been wanting to fish for years. It'll be fresh king, halibut, spot prawns, dungie crab, rockfish, lingcod, and yellow eye for the next few unemployed months I have.

Next up: Breaded Yellow Eye Baja Tacos w/ homemade tortillas. We made it years ago with a jalapeno sauce, and it was amazing. Give me a week. I'll take pictures this time.

I live in a dairy state, may need some help with the Halibut though.

30 minutes sounds WAY too long. Total thickness in inches times 8 to 10 minutes per inch maximum.

I found that the mayo/sour cream mixture really throws off traditional cooking times if you heap enough of it on. It was still basically raw when I thought it should be done.

I'm glad someone appreciates sour cream and mayo. I use a very similar sour cream and mayo sauce for pickled pike and other fish.....it's outstanding as well

I emailed this thread to a friend that replied he uses a similar recipe with Italian dressing and salmon.....now that's gotta be the bees knees!

I just made this with Pollock instead of Halibut....It's a lot cheaper...($2/lb vs $26/lb)....and added 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice to the fish....same onion (vidalia) but not caramelized.... HELLUVA dish....excellent....

Calvin and vapodog,
Thanks for the great recipe! Wife and daughter are out of town on a little spring break trip and they probably think old dad and brother are starving... Not!
I made a dish of Halibut Olympia as recommended here and it was delicious to say the least. I made a second dish adding mild diced green chiles over the sweet onions, switched out chipotle mayo for the olive oil mayo, and also switched a sprinkling of ground cumin for the dill weed. Cheese was still added on top followed by some crumbled Ritz crackers! Probably ought to call it Halibut de Cabo instead! My son is a kind of picky eater but he actually liked the latter one better... suprised me for sure.
I suspect they will be even better tonight as leftovers. Mouth watering!

Nice! I've been in slay mode here, and have put 10 kings and a 50lb halibut in the boat this last week. Fresh halibut and king in the freezer makes me a happy guy.
I've been keeping copper rockfish too as I can pretty much drop the downriggers down, and catch on demand. I cut into strips, dunk in egg, and roll in ritz. Holy crap is it good when done fresh.
Going to blow the next week, and then its off to Wrangell for two weeks of intense boat work. Replacing four planks and a deck beam on the Glory. As well as some recorking and refastening. Better not forget to bring my wallet!
Anybody want to take a boat ride to Wrangell? Trip of a lifetime.. haha

Gosh, I'd give anything for fresh fish. I've got 600+ pounds of red meat in fridge but I miss fresh fish badly....
Jealous here buddy!
