Halibut with Tomatoes & Olives
Another super healthy recipe! I made it with halibut as it is a nice, meaty fish but it can be substituted with another fish or shrimp or even scallops. It is simply marinated in smoked paprika- which gives anything super flavor without any calories. The fish is then browned briefly and cooked in a delicious mixture of tomatoes and olives. I served this with couscous with roasted butternut squash and cranberries. The meal was delicious…
- 2 to 3 halibut filets, 4 to 6 ounces each
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Sprinkle the fish filets with salt and smoked paprika.
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ cup olives, sliced (any kind you like)
- 1 cup cilantro, chopped
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Juice of half a lemon
Heat a non-stick frying pan with the olive oil. Brown the fish filets briefly on both sides on high heat. Take them out and keep aside. Add cherry tomatoes, garlic and olives to the same pan. Saute on medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice and sugar. Bring to a boil and simmer for 7 to 8 minutes. Add the cilantro and the fish. Cook the filets for another few minutes (depending on the thickness). Check for seasonings and serve.
