Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh halibut
  • kosher salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons softened butter
  • 1.5 tablespoons green onions, chopped
  • 2 small cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar or lemon juice (if tolerated)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Slice halibut filet into individual servings and sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper. Mix together the mayo, softened butter, green onions, garlic, mozzarella cheese, and vinegar or lemon juice. Spread on top of each halibut filet.
  • Bake at 425 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until just cooked through. Remove the halibut and turn the broiler to high. Broil for 1 minute, until the cheese is lightly browned, being careful to not overcook. Serve warm.

Notes

  • If you like a little bit of heat, add ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes or sriracha to the mixture. 
  • If lemon is tolerated (past the elimination phase) serve with a squeeze of lemon juice on top.
