Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) halibut fillets
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and place them in the prepared baking dish. Set aside.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Step 4
Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the top of each halibut fillet, ensuring all fillets are thoroughly coated.
Step 5
Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
Step 6
Once baked, remove the fillets from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 7
Optional: Garnish with additional fresh dill or a lemon wedge for extra flavor before serving.
Step 8
Serve the Sour Cream Halibut with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, steamed rice, or a fresh green salad. Enjoy!
