BAKED HALIBUT WITH BASIL LEMON VINAIGRETTE

Posted by Carole-Anne on February 6, 2008

Healthy Recipes recommends fish be eaten three times a  week, as it supplies us with the Omega Fatty Oils that we require for body health. 

Halibut is my favorite and today we will bake the halibut and serve the home-made vinaigrette dressing over it.

INGREDIENTS: 

4 halibut fillets

Lightly oiled baking dish

 Sea salt and freshly ground pepper

FOLLOW ME:

Season fillets with salt and pepper.

Place in the prepared baking dish.  Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until the fish is opaque looking all the way through it.

Place the fillets on heated plates; spoon on the Lemon Basil Vinaigrette and serve.

Healthy Recipe serves 4.

Recipe for Lemon Basil Vinaigrette

INGREDIENTS:

1 tsp lemon grated zest

2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/4 tsp sea salt

Freshly ground pepper

2 garlic cloves cut in halves

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

3 tbsp thinly sliced fresh basil leaves

1 tbsp drained capers

1/2 cup finely diced tomatoes

FOLLOW ME:

Combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl.  Spear the garlic on tines of a fork and use it to beat the lemon juice mixture.  Beat the oil in and then stir in capers, basil and tomatoes.

Voila – it is done; the simplest, basil lemon vinaigrette and it will taste ‘oh so good’ on your halibut, salmon or swordfish.
