Ingredients

1 pound halibut fillets
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter
1 onion, chopped

1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, diced
1 1/2 teaspoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)

1 sprig fresh dill, chopped, or more to taste
2 bunches green onions, chopped
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs, or to taste
2 tablespoons drained capers, or to taste

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Season halibut fillets with salt and pepper.
3 Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; add onion. Cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add wine; simmer until slightly reduced but still juicy, about 5 minutes. Pour mixture into the bottom of a baking pan. Place seasoned halibut on top.
4 Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic, seafood seasoning, white pepper, paprika, and dill for the topping in a bowl; season with salt. Pour over halibut; sprinkle with green onions, panko, and capers.
