Gina Yancey of Sacramento was looking for ways to prepare halibut besides grilling.

Today's Mailbox features two halibut recipes. This fast, easy recipe comes from Kathy Davis of Rocklin, who says this family favorite comes out moist and flavorful.

Ingredients:

4 portions of halibut fillets (or other firm, white fish such as orange roughy or tilapia)

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

½ cup freshly shredded Parmesan

4 tablespoons butter, softened

3 tablespoons mayonnaise

3 tablespoons chopped green onions

Salt and pepper, to taste

Dash of Tabasco sauce

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a buttered baking dish, place fish fillets in a single layer. Brush with lemon juice and let stand for 10 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine cheese, butter, mayonnaise, green onions, salt, pepper and Tabasco sauce. Set aside.

Bake fillets about 15 to 20 minutes at 350 degrees, or until cooked through. Spread with the cheese mixture and broil 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is melted and slightly browned.
