Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 45 mins Ready Time: 5 hrs


• 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.
• preheat the oven to 250 degrees f (120 degrees c).
• 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.
• 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.
• bake uncovered in the preheated oven until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 45 minutes.
