Our Traeger Halibut with Parmesan Crust was SO easy, took just 20 minutes to make, and was easily one of my favorite pieces of halibut I’ve had all year.
Traeger Halibut with Parmesan Crust
We love halibut, and it is a good thing because we caught a LOT of it this year.
23, in fact.
One of the good things of having a lot of kids is having a lot of limits, right? Tell that to my 14 freezers currently on-site though.
It means we never have a shortage of fresh fish and seafood, but this was the first year we’ve been so successful with Halibut.

Halibut Fishing Off The Washington Coast
We do a lot of fishing off the coast of Washington. There’s a spot near Cape Flattery called the Garbage Dump that’s popular with the local (and not so local) anglers. There were also some pulled out of Pillar Point, Sekiu, Table Top, Slip Point, Point Anderson, and Umatilla Reef.
Halibut is one of the most popular types of fish, and reeling one in yourself is something so amazing!

Parmesan Halibut FAQ
Nope! Any firm white fish would work with this recipe, so get crazy. I’d use this for walleye, cod, grouper, or haddock too.
You sure can! In fact, Debi’s recipe is developed for the oven. If you don’t have a pellet grill, don’t let that stop you from enjoying this recipe.
Serve This With…
- Greek Salad would be perfect for this.
- Another dish that is perfect with this fish is a Wild Rice Pilaf.
- If you are in more of a potato mood, I’d recommend my Traeger Smashed Potatoes.

Hi! So we just put the entire sheet Pan covered in parchment right on the grill grates right? Some other recipes I’ve read say that air needs to flow to the bottom of the fish for it to cook properly. Thank you!

Yup! I don't think it would hurt to have the fish up on a rack, but it didn't cause any issues with this recipe to cook it on the parchment.

This halibut was absolutely fantastic! I had my doubts about the cheesy mayo topping, but it was so, so good! Definitely making this one again.
