Healthy Halibut Dinner

It’s the middle of summer, and I was looking for a seafood recipe that sounded delicious and was easy. This recipe from Epicurious fit the bill! I was playing golf with my friend, Lori, and she mentioned it. I HAD to have the recipe!

I’m pairing it with some great veggie skewers that I’ll grill to perfection.

In a bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, butter, mayonnaise, lemon juice, green onions, salt, and hot pepper sauce.

Arrange the halibut fillets in the prepared baking dish.

Broil halibut fillets 8 minutes in the prepared oven, or until easily flaked with a fork. Spread with the Parmesan cheese mixture, and continue broiling 2 minutes, or until topping is bubbly and lightly browned.
