A superb fish recipe. I have been making this dish for over 30 years. The conmbination of the spices gives the fish a delightful flavor. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs fresh halibut steaks, 3/4 inch thick (3 steaks) |
2 large eggs |
1 tablespoon whole milk, homogenized |
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder |
1/4 cup crushed breakfast corn flakes |
1 teaspoon granulated garlic powder |
1 teaspoon dried dill weed |
1/4 cup grated hard parmesan cheese (parmigiano reggiano cheese preferred) |
1 1/2 teaspoons italian seasoning mix |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
4 tablespoons butter |

1. Rinse halibut steaks in cold water and pat dry on paper towellling; set aside.
2. In a small bowl, beat together eggs, milk and mustard until blended.

5. Preheat oven to 450 F degrees.
6. Dip halibut in egg mixture.
7. Now dip halibut in corn flakes mixture to coat all surfaces well. With floured fingers, press the cornflakes firmly into the halibut.

9. Place coated halibut steaks in a single layer in the buttered casserole dish.
