Ingredients

For the halibut

  • 6 4.5-ounce or 2 pounds halibut fillet
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup fat free mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup reduced fat sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped or 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • Cooking spray

For the salad

  • 4 medium cucumbers
  • 2 teaspoons fresh dill, chopped or 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

  1. To make the halibut, preheat the oven to 475°F. Lightly spray a 9x13 inch or medium sized baking dish with cooking spray. Season halibut fillets with salt and black pepper and place halibut in the baking dish.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine green onions, mayonnaise, sour cream, dill and lime juice. Spread green onion mixture evenly over each fillet.
  3. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
  4. To make the salad, peel and quarter cucumbers lengthwise then slice 1/4 inch thick. In a medium mixing bowl, gently mix together all the ingredients. Serve halibut with cucumber salad and garnish with fresh dill.
