The main industry here on Kodiak Island is fishing, so I'm always on the lookout for new seafood recipes. This is my favorite way to fix halibut since it's quick and tasty. I often get recipe requests when I serve this to guests.

Saucy Skillet Fish Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 20 min.

Yield: 6-8 Servings

10 10 20

Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1-1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 pounds halibut, haddock or salmon fillets or steaks
1 medium onion, sliced
1/3 cup butter, cubed
1-1/2 cups (12 ounces) sour cream
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, salt, paprika and pepper. Add fish and shake to coat (if using fillets, cut into serving-size pieces first).
In a large skillet, saute onion in butter until tender; remove and set aside. Add fish to the skillet, cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove fish to a serving plate and keep warm.
Add the sour cream, basil and onion to the skillet; heat through (do not boil). Serve with fish. Garnish with parsley. Yield: 6-8 servings.

T have made this recipe quite a few times over the years and it is always a big hit. It's the recipe my husband always requests for special dinners. I have only used Halibut.

We liked this, but the sauce had a little too much onion flavor. I might make this again, but I would try a different fish. I used salmon.

Super easy to make and even got my 3 year old to eat it! I made too much sauce though so planning on making again tomorrow.
