How to Make Halibut Creole

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lightly butter a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the halibut in a single layer.
  3. Season halibut steaks generously with salt and pepper. Place them in the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained, 1 cup chopped green bell pepper, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 1-2 finely minced jalapeños (adjust to your spice preference). Top each halibut steak evenly with the vegetable mixture.
  5. In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of Tabasco sauce (or more, to taste). Drizzle this mixture evenly over the halibut steaks.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, basting with the pan juices every 10 minutes, until the halibut is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
