Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds halibut
½ teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon cold butter, thinly sliced
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1 cup cream cheese, softened
2 (4 ounce) cans diced green chiles
2 green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
salt and ground black pepper to taste
8 (8 inch) flour tortillas
1 cup heavy cream, or as needed
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place halibut in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with seafood seasoning and lemon juice. Dot halibut with butter slices.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove pan from oven and cool halibut slightly. Flake into bite sized pieces in the baking dish.
  • Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, and cream cheese in a large bowl.
  • Carefully stir in flaked halibut, diced green chiles, green onions, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
  • Spoon filling onto tortillas in a line down the center, and roll them around the filling into a cylinder shape.
  • Grease a 9x15 inch baking dish.
  • Place rolled tortillas seam sides down in the prepared baking dish.
  • Pour heavy cream over rolled tortillas, using as much as needed to cover.
  • Top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is browned and bubbling, about 45 minutes.
