Halibut

Pineapple Chipotle Fried Rice

Garlic Roasted Broccolini

Avocado, Tomato, and Cucumber Salad

Method

Preparing the Halibut

  1. 1

    Season the Halibut

    Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Halibut

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the halibut fillets and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and keep warm.

Making Pineapple Chipotle Fried Rice

  1. 3

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In the same skillet, add vegetable oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.

  2. 4

    Add Pineapple and Chipotle

    Stir in the pineapple chunks and chipotle in adobo sauce, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  3. 5

    Combine with Rice

    Add the cooked jasmine rice and soy sauce, mixing well to combine. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Finally, add chopped green onions and mix.

Garlic Roasted Broccolini

  1. 6

    Prep the Broccolini

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Trim the ends of the broccolini and place on a baking sheet.

  2. 7

    Season and Roast

    In a small bowl, mix together minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle over the broccolini and toss to coat. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

Making the Salad

  1. 8

    Prepare Salad Ingredients

    Dice the avocado, tomato, and cucumber into bite-sized pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine with chopped cilantro.

  2. 9

    Make the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Pour over the salad and toss gently to combine.
