Halibut Illiamna

This is Pat's favorite Halibut dish, so far! It's rich and creamy, and this serves many so invite friends! We got this recipe from our friend, Aaron T. after begging! He likes to eat leftovers cold, but we prefer them warmed! Options!

Ingredients:
4 lbs. of Halibut, dried as much as possible
8 oz. flaked crab meat (imitation unless you have lots of cheap crab around!)
12 oz. cream cheese
1/3 cup mozzarella cheese (grated)
1 1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 Tbsp sour cream
1 small yellow onion
1/3 cup of minced parsley
4 oz. diced artichoke hearts
1 cup of diced mushrooms
salt & pepper to taste
2 "dashes" of Tobasco sauce
2 "dashes" of Worcestershire sauce

Separately: 1/2 cup or more of fresh grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:
Grease 11x15" dish with olive oil. (I used a 9.5x11" and it fit, but it was full!) Heat oven to 450*. Fillet halibut into thin 1/4 to 1/2" slices, set aside. Mix all ingredients except Parmesan cheese. Layer dish with mixed ingredients, fish, ingredients, fish, etc. Cover with grated Parmesan. Bake for 10 minutes in large pan, 25 minutes in 9.5x11" pan, or until fish is cooked and flaky throughout. Let stand until thickened.

Hi Meli & Pat!

I'm not ready for snow. Sorry your lettuce froze.

Today's my college reunion at the homecoming football game at little Franklin College in little Franklin, Indiana. We'll be in the mid 80's so I don't get to wear my new homecoming sweater.

Your halibut dish looks great! I used to make something similiar with yellowtail snapper I caught in Key West. Mine had a topping of buttered bread crumbs with some parmesan and fresh parsley.
