Tips & Substitutions
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like dill or parsley to the sour cream and mayonnaise mixture. If you don't have Parmesan cheese, Pecorino Romano is a great substitute. For a crunchier topping, you can use crushed crackers instead of breadcrumbs. If you want a lighter option, Greek yogurt can replace sour cream.
Serving Suggestions

For a complete experience, consider adding a glass of white wine, such as Chardonnay, to complement the flavors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen halibut for this recipe?

What can I substitute for mayonnaise?
If you're looking for a healthier option, you can substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise in this recipe. It will give a similar creaminess while adding a tangy flavor and extra protein.
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the halibut with the sour cream mixture and toppings a few hours in advance, cover it, and refrigerate. Just bake it right before serving for a fresh and delicious meal.
