Ingredients

6 Portions halibut steaks
-OR-
1 2 lb. fillet
3 tbs Butter or margarine; cut up
3 tbs Lemon juice

Herb Mix Number 1

1 tsp Onion flakes - rehydrated and drained
1 tsp Dry mustard
1/2 tsp Oregano leaves
1/4 tsp Marjoram leaves
1 tsp Paprika
1 dash Pepper

1/3 c Grated Parmesan cheese - (Freshly grated)
1 tsp Sweet basil
1/2 tsp Garlic powder
1/4 tsp Pepper
1 tbs Parsley flakes
1/4 tsp Paprika

 Preparation

  1. Wipe fish with a damp cloth, dot with butter, and sprinkle lemon juice over all. Use either of the spice mixes shown below.
  2. Herb Mix No. 1: Prepare onions and sprinkle over the top of the fish. Combine the remaining herbs/spices and sprinkle on halibut. Let stand for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors. Bake at 350 F. for 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serves 6.
  3. Herb Mix No. 2: Mix all ingredients together well. Sprinkle over fish; use only enough to lightly cover fish or it will taste dry. (The remaining mix will store well in a tightly covered jar in the refrigerator.) Bake at 350-degree F. for 20-30 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Do not over bake or it will dry out. Serve garnished with lemon wedge and parsley sprigs.
