Instructions
-
Prepare Halibut: Cut the halibut into 1-inch pieces, approximately 2 inches long and 1 inch wide.
-
Marinate Halibut: In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt, and minced garlic. Marinate the halibut pieces in this mixture for 1-2 minutes.

Coat with Cheese: Drain excess marinade from the halibut. Roll each piece in a mixture of grated sharp cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese until well coated.

Bread Crumb Coating: Next, roll the cheese-coated halibut pieces in dry bread crumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Lightly oil a baking sheet.
-
Arrange Halibut Sticks: Place the breaded halibut sticks on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is space between each piece to allow for even browning.
-
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, or until the halibut is cooked through and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
