Parmesan Halibut
My daughter had her braces tightened yesterday, which always means she needs a soft dinner, so I made this easy Parmesan halibut recipe for dinner, which is a family favorite I’ve been making for years. This cheesy & delicious Parmesan halibut pairs nicely with garlic rice, creamy mashed potato casserole, orzo and roasted tomatoes, roasted asparagus, a loaded Caesar salad, crusty bread, etc.–the options are endless! This easy halibut recipe turns out tender and delicious with the tastiest cheesy topping, and I love that it’s easy enough to make during the week but special enough to serve to guests.
Parmesan Halibut
Ingredients:
- ½ cup of mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp parmesan, grated
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1½ lbs halibut, skin on
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Lemon wedges
How to Make Parmesan Halibut
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
Whisk the mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic until well combined.
Place the halibut pieces in the baking dish skin side down, then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste.
Brush the mayonnaise mixture evenly over each piece of halibut on the top and sides. Sprinkle the remaining bit of Parmesan evenly on each piece of fish.
Place into the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Turn the oven to broil and cook, watching carefully for another 1-2 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve with lemon wedges. Enjoy.

wow my mouth is watering!! Can’t remember when I last time had some halibut…yours looks so meaty, flaky and succulent.
Looks moist and delicious Pam – I’ve cooked halibut a couple of times and yet to be happy with it – think I may get it over done. I’ll try this next time.
That looks just about perfect to me will be on the menu here very soon. Thanks for sharing. Diane
Halibut is such a great fish, isn’t it? Flavorful, but it also is a nice canvas for other flavors — like this terrific cheese topping. Great dish — thanks.
I wouñd love to make this fish pretty soon Pam!
I love parmesan cheese as a coating for fish. This recipe looks fabulous.
This was so good. After it had been in the oven10 min it was nicely browned and I didn’t need to broil it. Moist and flavorful
Susie,
Thank you for letting me know. I’m so glad you liked it.

Going to give this a shot tonight. Fingers crossed! Will keep you posted!
Tried this recipe tonight and it was a hit! Very flavourful and tasty. I made a nice side salad with grapes and baby spinach. Excellent summer meal. Thanks!
Allison,
Your side salad sounds delicious! I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe. Thanks for taking the time to let me know.

I do this recipe with the addition of one tablespoon of dried Marjoram in the Mayo spread, it adds another layer of flavour. The Mayo spread seals the fish and allows it to cook in it’s own juices.
Dave,
Yum! Sounds delicious. I’m so glad you enjoy this recipe. Thanks for taking the time to let me know.

My favorite halibut recipe! Have you ever just broiled it without baking?
Robin,
Not personally, but my mother in law has and loves the way it turns out.

I normally don’t cook halibut because it is so easy to overcook! However, that was not the case here, and the halibut was absolutely delicious. Thank you for such a great recipe. It will be my “go to” recipe from now on whenever I cook halibut. Very appealing from an appearance standpoint also. Wouldn’t hesitate to serve it to guests.

10 stars. I added lemon zest to the mayo mix. 9 min on middle rack, 2 min on upper for 1″ thick filets. Amazing!!!
