Halibut steak is baked with mushrooms, onion, bay leaf, white wine, heavy cream, and garlic.

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 halibut steak, 2 to 3 pounds
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • salt and pepper
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons butter
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 1 small bay leaf
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced onion
  • 1 clove garlic, cut in half
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • chopped fresh parsley

Preparation:

Put flour in a shallow bowl; season with salt and pepper. Dredge halibut with the seasoned flour.

Place halibut steak in a buttered baking dish; dot with 3 to 4 tablespoons of butter. Bake at 350° for about 20 minutes, basting several times. Sprinkle halibut steak with mushrooms, onions, bay leaf, garlic pieces, and wine. Cover baking pan with foil, buttered so it will not stick to the halibut, and bake 20 minutes longer, basting a few times. Transfer halibut, mushrooms, and sliced onion to a warm serving platter; discard garlic pieces and bay leaf. Add heavy cream to the liquid remaining in pan; heat to boiling point. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste and pour over halibut steak. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
Baked halibut serves 4 to 6.

Baked Halibut chunk!March 17, 2008By dougirv
"Bought a chunk of halibut here on Vancouver Island where fish is always plentiful. As usual, I took the posted recipe, and changed it somewhat, adding Asian eggplant to the mushrooms, onion and garlic. And put 1/4 cup dry white wine, 1/4 cup ginger wine, and then when the fish was baked, and the veggies added for the next 20 minutes, I did not add cream or milk, just thickened the liquid. It was great! Next time I will try different veggies again! Had to add powdered chipotle to it as well!"
