Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Buttermilk Oven-Fried Halibut.
Step 1
To start your delicious halibut dish, grab a large resealable plastic bag and mix together the buttermilk and salt.
Step 2
Gently add the halibut fillets, seal the bag tightly, and let them soak in the refrigerator for at least four hours, or up to a full day if you want to infuse even more flavor.
Step 3
When you're ready to cook, preheat your oven to a cozy 250°F (120°C).
Step 4
While the oven warms up, take a moment to prepare the crunchy coating.
Step 5
In a blender, combine half of the seasoned rye crackers with half of the Greek seasoning.
Step 6
Blend until you have fine crumbs that will add a delightful texture to your fish.
Step 7
Pour these crumbs into a shallow bowl and repeat the process with the remaining crackers and seasoning.
Step 8
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and a splash of water until well combined.
Step 9
Now it’s time to bring it all together! Take the marinated halibut out of the bag and discard the buttermilk mixture.
Step 10
Dip each fillet into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it generously with the cracker crumbs, ensuring every inch is covered.
Step 11
Place the beautifully coated fillets in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish, making sure they have a little space between them for even cooking.
Step 12
To finish, drizzle some melted butter over the top of the fish for that extra touch of richness.
Step 13
Slide the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 45 minutes.
Step 14
You’ll know it’s ready when the halibut turns opaque and flakes easily with a fork, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.
Step 15
Enjoy your perfectly baked halibut, a dish that’s sure to impress!.
