Stuffed Halibut
6 (2-inch thick) halibut fillets
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 pound cooked salad shrimp
1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup butter, melted
Juice of 1 fresh lemon
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. In a
small bowl, mix together cream cheese, shrimp and basil. Season to taste with
salt and pepper. Make a pocket in each of the fillets, making sure you do not
cut through on three sides. Divide the cream cheese mixture into 6 parts, and
stuff each fillet. Place on prepared baking sheet. Combine melted butter and
lemon juice. Drizzle over fish and bake for 20 minutes or until fish is done.
Makes 6 servings.
