Description

Delicate halibut fillets paired with creamy white beans and vibrant spinach for a delightful coastal meal.


Ingredients

  • 4 5-6 oz halibut fillets (at least 1 inch thick, skin removed)
  • Kosher salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for searing)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for sautéing)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 15-oz cans cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup chopped sundried tomatoes (in olive oil)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 6 cups chopped spinach
  • 1 tbsp minced fresh rosemary
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice


Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Carefully add halibut fillets to the pan, skin side down, and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. In another skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté over medium heat until fragrant and lightly golden.
  4. Incorporate the cannellini beans, chicken stock, chopped sundried tomatoes, lemon zest, and rosemary into the skillet. Stir well and let simmer for about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the chopped spinach to the bean mixture and stir until wilted. Finish with a splash of lemon juice.
  6. Serve the pan-seared halibut over the creamy white bean mixture and enjoy.

Notes

Let the halibut rest for a few minutes after cooking to redistribute juices. Experiment with lemon juice for added brightness.
