Main Ingredients

Method

Cooking Halibut

  1. 1

    Prepare the Halibut

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the halibut fillets with salt, black pepper, and the Ras al-Hanout spice blend on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Onions

    In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Slice the Vidalia onions into thin rings and add them to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they become soft and translucent.

  3. 3

    Cook the Halibut

    Push the sautéed onions to the side of the skillet and add the seasoned halibut fillets. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the fish. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Bake the Dish

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes or until the halibut is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Preparing Couscous

  1. 5

    Cook the Couscous

    In a saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Once boiling, stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the couscous absorbs the broth.

  2. 6

    Fluff and Season

    After the couscous has absorbed the broth, fluff it with a fork. Stir in the fresh cilantro and lemon juice, and season with salt to taste.
