Pat dry Halibut with a paper towel to remove any excess water. Then season with salt and pepper and squeeze lemon juice all over the fish. Set in a baking pan or dish.

Do the same for tomatoes, and vegetables, if using any. Use a baking tray if using more vegetables.

Bake Halibut for about 6 -7 minutes, depending on its thickness. Be careful; they bake up pretty fast. It will finish baking after you add the sauce.

While fish is baking, mix together butter, mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, creole seasoning, garlic, lemon zest, and basil in a small bowl. Thoroughly mix together.
