“These halibut fillets are stuffed with a mixture of cream cheese and salad shrimp. If the thick filets are not available, you can spread the cream cheese mixture on top of the thinner filets and fold in half, using a tooth pick to keep in place during cooking. The fresher the fish for this recipe, the better! This is great served with fresh steamed broccoli.” - by Debbie

Ingredients

6 (6 ounce) fillets halibut
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

"This one was a winner with my family. I only had thin pieces so layered them in a dish, spread on the filling and topped with another layer of fish. Also was great with a touch of garlic and italian..." See more seasoning. I'll keep this one handy as my son's catch alot of halibut fishing."

"This recipe was quick, fast, and delicious. I was unable to find fresh halibut, but used orange ruffy and it was a big hit. My family loved it served over rice. I prepared it ahead of time by stuff..." See moreing the filets (about 15 minutes) and refrigerated them. A stress free meal."
