Parmesan Baked Halibut

This one from our friend Scott Leysath, aka The Sporting Chef, is not for the heart-healthy set, but it sure does taste good! It’s better with a good quality freshly grated Parmesan cheese, but the pre-shredded stuff will do. Cherry tomatoes or tomatillos work well for this too. 

Ingredients:

• 4 6- ounce halibut fillets
• salt and freshly ground pepper
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 green onions chopped
• 2 garlic cloves minced
• 1 cup tomato seeded and diced

How to Prepare:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Season fish with salt and pepper and rub a 9-inch (or similar sized) baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter and arrange fish in dish.
3. In a saucepan, melt remaining butter over medium heat. Stir in cream and bring to a boil. Stir in cheese, Italian seasoning, onions and garlic. Pour sauce over fish and place dish in a preheated oven.
4. Cook until top is lightly browned, about 18-20 minutes. Top with tomato before serving.
