Macadamia Crusted Halibut

I invented this recipe

based on several baked halibut recipes and some comments made by friends about their favorite ways to cook halibut.

3 tbsp Parmesan, grated

¼ cup Panko

Cooking spray

4. Spray 8” x 8” plan with cooking spray. Place halibut, skin side down, in pan.  Cover all exposed halibut surfaces with mayonnaise mixture.  Cover mayonnaise with breading.

Just Out of the Oven

5. Cook for 15-20 min (depends on the thickness of your filet).  Remove just before perfectly done (fish flakes, but some clear remains in the center).  Let halibut rest for 3-5 min.  The halibut should finish cooking during this resting period.

6.  Serve with favorite side dish.
