Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine grated Cheddar cheese, melted butter, mayonnaise, horseradish, and lemon juice in a bowl.

- Crush Wheat Thins crackers and sprinkle over the top of the dish.
- Bake at 425°F for 20 to 30 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of heavy cream to the cheese mixture. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of horseradish. You can substitute the Cheddar cheese with a blend of Monterey Jack and Parmesan for a different taste. This dish is great for using up leftover halibut or any firm white fish. Serve alongside a fresh Midwestern Chowder for a complete meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Sheraton Halibut with a side of steamed vegetables or a crisp green salad, like a Carnation Green Garden Salad, for a refreshing contrast. A glass of chilled white wine pairs wonderfully with this dish. For a more hearty meal, consider serving it with seasoned rice or mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the dish in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions, but be mindful not to overheat, as it can dry out the dish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen halibut for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen halibut. Just be sure to thaw it completely in the refrigerator before cooking. This ensures even cooking and better texture. If using frozen fillets, you may need to adjust the baking time slightly to ensure they are cooked through.
What can I substitute for Wheat Thins?
If you don't have Wheat Thins, you can use crushed saltines, panko breadcrumbs, or even crushed tortilla chips as a topping. Each will add a unique texture and flavor, so choose based on your preference or what you have available.
How can I make this recipe healthier?
To lighten the dish, consider using low-fat mayonnaise and reduced-fat cheese. You can also increase the amount of fresh herbs or vegetables mixed into the cheese topping for added nutrition. Alternatively, serve with a side of roasted vegetables to balance the richness.
