Halibut Olympia

A Combination of Comfort and Sophistication, This is The Best Way to Make Halibut Olympia

 

Halibut Olympia is such a fun dish to make and while there are a few variations on this classic dish, we think we have come up with the perfect way to make this recipe. There are only a few simple steps that will lead you to a deliciously, decadent meal. This is one of those recipes that even fish skeptics will love. You really can use any variety of white fish in place of the halibut, but we have to say that the traditional version is by far the best. This recipe is a rich combination of flaky halibut smeared with a decadent cream sauce then topped with buttery crisp breadcrumbs set on top of a bed of perfectly caramelized onions.

Wild Alaska Halibut is a white, flaky fish loaded with protein. Here at Sizzlefish, our halibut is wild caught off the pristine waters of Southeast Alaska, off Baranof Island. Our fish is size selected to yield perfectly tender, flaky fillet servings. This light fish is an elegant treat and one of the highest-valued seafood items. Alaska Halibut is also a naturally lean fish which makes it a perfect fish for this recipe! Alaska Halibut is also packed with vitamins and minerals such as phosphorus, vitamins B6 & B12, magnesium, Niacin, iron, zinc, vitamin A and Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids help to reduce the risk of irregular heartbeat, lower triglyceride levels, and slow plaque growth in arteries.
