How to Make Baked Halibut With Jalapenos

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place halibut filets (about 1 pound) in a lightly greased 9x13 inch glass baking dish.
  3. Evenly spread 1/2 cup mayonnaise over the halibut filets.
  4. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the mayonnaise.
  5. Top with 2-4 jalapeños, finely sliced (adjust to your spice preference). Pour 1 tablespoon of jalapeño juice over the halibut.
  6. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the halibut is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
