Follow The Directions
01
Step
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
Pat halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper. (2 minutes)
03
Step
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. (7 minutes)
04
Step
Pour in the dry white wine and simmer until it has slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. This concentrates the flavor. Transfer the wine and onion mixture to the bottom of a baking dish. (7 minutes)
05
Step
Place the seasoned halibut fillets on top of the wine-infused onion mixture. (2 minutes)
06
Step
In a bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, seafood seasoning, white pepper, paprika, and chopped dill. Season with a pinch of salt. Gently spread this creamy mixture evenly over the halibut fillets. (5 minutes)
07
Step
Sprinkle the top with sliced green onions, panko bread crumbs, and drained capers. (2 minutes)
08
Step
Bake in the preheated oven until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes. (15 minutes)
09
Step
Garnish with extra fresh dill and serve immediately with lemon wedges. (2 minutes)
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice to the sour cream mixture.
If you don't have panko bread crumbs, regular bread crumbs will work, but panko provides a superior, crispier texture.
Adjust the amount of seafood seasoning and paprika to your preference. Smoked paprika can be used for a smoky depth.
Make sure not to overbake the halibut, as it will become dry. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
