Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Fresh halibut fillets
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 medium (for juice and garnish) Lemon
• 2 tablespoons (optional, for garnish) Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold all the halibut fillets in a single layer.

Step 2

Peel and finely slice the yellow onion. In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion slices and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to create a creamy topping.

Step 4

Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and black pepper, then arrange them in the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

Spread an even layer of the sautéed onions over the halibut fillets. Then, evenly spread the creamy topping mixture over the onions, making sure to coat the entire surface of each fillet.

Step 6

Sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs evenly over the creamy topping for extra crunch.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the halibut flakes easily with a fork and the topping is golden brown and bubbling.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the halibut for added brightness. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a light salad.
