Weigh in Wednesday - Halibut recipe
In the spirit of shedding pounds and getting healthier, I’m going to try and post one healthy recipe a week
This week I’m doing citrus halibut! SOOOOOOOO good!
INGREDIENTS
1/3 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1/2-3/4 teaspoon grated orange peel
4 (4 ounce) halibut fillets
1/4 cup orange juice (I use fresh squeezed and then use the peel for zest)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
DIRECTIONS
In a nonstick skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray, saute onion and garlic until tender; remove from the heat. Stir in parsley and orange peel. Place halibut in an 8-in. square baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray. Top with onion mixture. Combine orange and lemon zest and lemon juices; pour over fish. Sprinkle with salt and ground pepper. Cover and bake at 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
