Yummy. I used twice the cheese, half the butter, a little less oil, and less mustard (1 TSP). I served it with mashed potatoes and broccoli; the sauce was really yummy on the potatoes! Will make again.

Love, love, love this! We live in some of the best halibut catching waters in the world, so are always looking for new ways to eat halibut. I try not to change recipes until I've tried them at least once, but I didn't have any dry mustard, so I used 1 tablespoon Old Bay instead. My husband said this was his favorite halibut recipe EVER!

Sorry, but this was not good for us at all. I followed the recipe exactly except for 2 things that should not have affected the final outcome - 1 tbs of dry mustard and used Tilapia, a very mild white fish. I reduced the dry mustard to 1 TBS and it was still too strong. I baked for nearly 30 minutes and the fish was still not done, had to nuke it to completely cook it thru. The olive oil/butter floated to the top so it looked a little greasy too. Sorry, won't be making this again.

The halibut stays nice and moist but the mustard adds a flavor that is too strong.

I didn't care for the flavors in this dish at all. I don't know if there was too much dry mustard or what. I won't make this again.

It was SUPER runny, which I didn't expect, but everyone thought it was delicious! I took the advice of everyone and I used half the dry mustard. I doubled the recipe and it was a big hit.

Made this dish the other evening and I have to say I was surprised. It was absolutely delicious and will definitely be having it again. It was very simple to prepare and as i said very delicious.I read a couple of reviews before making it and the only alteration to the recipe was instead of 3 tablespoons of dry mustard i only used 2 teaspoons, This recipe is a "must try" and comes highly recommended so give it a try and enjoy.

This was very good. Per other reviewers, I only used 2 tbs mustard (my husband thought could have used less but I liked it this way) and only a few tbs of sour cream. Also, instead of cutting up the halibut, I used the full fillet for a prettier presentation. Didn't have the fried onions... so I made onion rings instead.

This recipe calls for 3 Tablespoons of Dry Mustard, as the other reviews suggested, I cut back on the amount but not enough. One Teaspoon (not tablespoon) of dry mustard is adequate (and I do like mustard). I used fresh halibut that my son caught on an Alaskan fishing trip and followed the recipe as written with two exceptions: The mustard quantity and I used fat free sour cream (which I always cook with) - outside of the overwhelming mustard flavor, the only other complaint with the recipe is the cooking time. It does take a little longer to bake than what is allotted. I bake in a convection oven and the pieces on the outside of the dish were warm and the center still barely above room temp. I baked a little longer, but still found the fish not to be quite done - it should flake with a fork. Remembering a lesson previously learned from a chef when broiling halibut filets, I put this dish in the microwave for a minute, checked it and then one more minute, until the fish was done. If you find you need a little more time when fixing this recipe, try the microwave method just to finish cooking, but be sure not to overcook any fish as it will be dry/rubbery. Overall, with the modifications this has potential to be a good recipe.

Not a winner with us. I reduced the mustard and skipped the fried onions altogether. Also used light ingredients. Mine came out with 2 totally different layers. The sour cream on top and a ton of liquid almost boiling the fish underneath. It was weird. Won't be a repeat in our house. I prefer the Heavenly Halibut receipe we use or using the Lemon Steamed Fish Packets receipe (both posted here).

As written, this recipe gets a three or a four star rating...too much mustard as others have stated. We don't care for dry mustard in large quantities, so I really reduce the amount to fit our tastes, when I make this. Using only a couple of tsps. Yes, this recipe is not for the calorie or fat conscience, but it's delicious. No fish should taste fishy. If it does, you have purchased bad fish. I live in Western Washington on an island in Puget Sound, and fresh fish is abundant here. Lucky me! If you don't know how to determine if fish is fresh, first use your nose before you purchase. It will tell you right away if it's fresh. Second, use your eyes. Don't always depend upon the fishmonger to be honest with you. Read up on how to choose fresh fish, cut the mustard, and this dish won't disappoint.

I should have read the reviews. This was far too mustardy. To counteract the mustardy taste, I poured some chilli sauce over top of the sour cream and cheese and then topped with breadcrumbs to change the taste of the sauce. I served this with minted peas and mashed potatoes, and the sauce went really well when mixed in with the potatoes. It was really good this way! I think if I make this again would definately only use 1tbsp mustard and use my chilli sauce topping too.

I was looking for fish recipes that can be adjusted to lower cholesterol and salt. I omitted the salt, butter and used light sour cream. Because of the previous comments I used the 3Tbs of mustard but twice the fish (I didn't increase the oil either). The mustard was just enough for the amount of fish (2 Lbs Scrod). Increase cooking time to 30 minutes if you increase the fish to 2 lbs. Although adjusted for our requirements, guess what! It was a delicious recipe for two boomers that need to do what our Dr's tell us.

They don't sell French's Fried Onions in Canada...so I made some myself using another recipe on the site. This stuff is AWESOME, and a great way to use fresh halibut -for the price it goes at, anyways- we will be making this again...try adding extra cheese :)

Whoa, this recipe is like an exercise to see how much fat you can put atop some fish. Therefore, of course it's delicious! I took heed of fellow reviewers and only used 1 tablespoon of dry mustard. I think I could have added another 1/2 and it would have still worked. I think the full amount would end up bitter though. The whole family loved it. "This can't be good for us" my husband exclaimed and the 4 year old had seconds. I was lucky enough to get to lick the serving spoon clean after scraping the pan. Naughty, but darn good.
