Ingredients
Instructions
- Slice halibut into fillets 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick and place in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
- Pour white wine over the fish and let it set for 30 minutes.
- Slice onion very thin and scatter over the fish.
- Mix mayonnaise and sour cream together and spread on top of the fish.
- Sprinkle cheese on top.
- Bake at 400°F until the fish is just set, being careful not to overcook.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider marinating the halibut in the white wine for a few hours ahead of time. If you don’t have sour cream, Greek yogurt can be a great substitute for a similar tangy taste. You can also try using a splash of lemon juice to brighten the dish. For added creaminess, consider folding in some cream cheese into the mayonnaise and sour cream mixture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Halibut Elly's with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh garden salad for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with a light white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc. For a heartier option, consider serving it alongside creamy garlic mashed potatoes or a flavorful rice pilaf. This dish is perfect for a cozy family dinner or a special occasion.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the halibut in a baking dish and cover it with foil to retain moisture. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F until warmed through, about 10-15 minutes, to avoid drying it out.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know when the halibut is done cooking?
The halibut is done when it flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center. It's important not to overcook it, as halibut can become dry. A cooking time of around 15-20 minutes at 400°F is usually sufficient, but checking it a few minutes early is wise.
