Fish

4 pieces Halibut fillets

Stuffing

1 cup Cooked quinoa

1 cup Spinach, chopped

1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled

2 cloves Garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons ReaLemon lemon juice

1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

Cooking

2 tablespoons Butter

1 cup White wine (optional)

Method

Preparation

Prepare the Stuffing

In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Fish Preparation

Prepare the Halibut

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take the halibut fillets and gently slice them open on one side to create a pocket for the stuffing. Be careful not to cut all the way through.

Stuffing the Halibut

Stuff the Fillets

Spoon the prepared stuffing into the pocket of each halibut fillet, filling them generously. Make sure the stuffing is evenly distributed.

Cooking

Bake the Halibut

In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, carefully place the stuffed halibut fillets into the skillet. If using, pour the white wine around the fillets. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is lightly browned.

Finish Cooking

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the halibut is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Serving

Serve the Dish

Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the halibut rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with a drizzle of olive oil or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top.
