Alaskan Recipe: Baked Halibut in Sour Cream with Dill

Bringing the spirit of the local culinary culture on board, our Chef’s Market Menus in Terrace Café at dinner feature delicious regional recipes and traditional ingredients of the destinations where we sail. This special Alaskan recipe happens to have been discovered by one of our chefs while in port in Juneau and was shared by an Alaskan native, Cady Ganty. It’s now become a guest favorite on board and is a simple recipe you can enjoy at home.

Serves 4

Ingredients

2 pounds halibut fillet, cut into 6 pieces Salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 bunch green onions, chopped

½ cup mayonnaise

½ cup sour cream 1 teaspoon dried dill weed Lemon or fresh dill – optional, for garnish

Directions Preheat the oven to 475˚F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Season halibut with salt and ground black pepper. Place halibut in the greased baking dish. Combine green onions, mayonnaise, sour cream and dill in a bowl. Spread green onion mixture evenly over each halibut piece.

Bake in the preheated oven until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh dill or a slice of lemon, and enjoy.
