"My sister-in-law gave me this recipe, I think she got it from the Food Network. I have changed it just a bit. This is my favorite way to make Halibut, but any firm whitefish will do. I serve this to guests all the time."

I made this last night using shefish that my daughter & son- in- law gave us. It was delicious! I used my iron skillet & just moved it from the stove top into the oven. I used 1/2 the recipe since there were just 2 of us eating. It had a lightly browned crust and the fish was perfectly cooked inside. I might try the same recipe with chicken breasts & just bake it longer. I served it with roasted fresh asparagus. Great dinner!

This is a great fish recipe, something very different when you get bored of broiling or baking! I leave my fish a little longer, just to make the crust a little crispier. This is not really lo-cal, but so good!
