Oven Fried Buttermilk Halibut

This recipe makes a very moist halibut main dish. I have a recipe for another 'Oven Fried Buttermilk' using chicken, and, as I like to experiment, I decided to try it with halibut. The only changes I made were the main ingredient and the oven temperature.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons water
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons Greek seasoning
• 4 (3/4 inch thick) halibut fillets
• 1 (8 ounce) package seasoned rye crackers
• 0.5 cup butter, melted
• 1.5 teaspoons salt

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).

Step 2

Set a large resealable plastic bag in a bowl. Pour in the buttermilk and salt. Add the halibut fillets and close the bag. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 1 day.

Step 3

Place half of the crackers and half of the Greek seasoning into a blender. Cover and pulse until they become fine crumbs. Pour into a shallow bowl, and repeat with remaining crackers and Greek seasoning. Whisk eggs with water in a separate bowl.

Step 4

Remove halibut from the bag and discard the marinade. Dip fish into the egg and then in the crumbs until evenly coated. Place coated fillets into a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Do not let them touch, as they will weld themselves together. Drizzle the butter on top of the fish.

Step 5

Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 45 minutes.
