Combine squeezed cucumber, sour cream, yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate tzatziki sauce for at least 2 hours.

Place halibut in a lightly oiled baking dish. Pour lemon juice over top and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Rub fillet, then let stand for 20 minutes.
