I'm not a big fish eater, but when I do find something that I like, I will make it time and again. Ideally, this recipe is made with halibut. This time around when I made it, fresh halibut was 16.99 a pound. So I used regular fresh cod, which was on sale for 4.99 a pound. Much better. Even though you can't beat halibut for this dish, cod works extremely well. This recipe is also very impressive when making for dinner guests, yet, such a no-brainer to prepare!

1 1/2 lbs halibut or cod fillets, 5-6 oz portions
1 cup dry white wine
1 tsp kosher salt
dry bread crumbs
fresh dill, for garnish

SOUR CREAM TOPPING
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/3 cup red onion, finely diced
2 tbsp. fresh dill, chopped

Mix white wine with kosher salt in a large flat glass dish. Marinate fish in wine and salt mixture for one hour. Remove fish from marinade and pat dry. Pour bread crumbs onto plate. Coat both sides of fish with crumbs. Place fish on a baking sheet and spread topping like you would frosting, (I use an offset spatula) on the top of each fillet, covering completely. Heat oven to 400. Bake fish for 10-15 minutes, depending on thickness. Fish will be opaque throughout when done and the topping should be golden brown.
