Dinner delight!

A light, delicious broiled halibut with broiled vegetables.


Pair this delicious meal with a nice white wine like "Casal Garcia vinho verde" or if your like me, I like my rich bodied wines like our very own,home made Cabernet Sauvignon, or a bottle of J. Lohr.

Ingredients
Halibut steaks
1-2 lemons
(Club house)Garlic powder and 2garlic cloves
(Club house) Roasted garlic & peppers seasoning purchased at Costco 
Pepper and salt to taste 

Preparation
* I usually marinate the fish one day prior to cooking it. I find that it absorbs the seasoning much better, but same day will do too. Season fish on both sides with garlic powder, chopped garlic cloves, salt, pepper and bell pepper seasoning. Drizzle the juice of 2 lemons over the fish and slice the lemon into pieces and place around fish. Wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Cooking
Place halibut steaks on a grill pan, one that has drainage, batter the pan with a little bit of avocado oil so the fish does not stick.Cook on broil for about 15-20 minutes. You may flip the fish to broil on both sides if desired.
Remove and serve

Vegetables

Ingredients
1 sweet potato 
1 sweet purple potato 
3 endives cut in half
10 small peeled carrots
Garlic powder ( club house)
Roasted garlic & peppers seasoning 
Salt and pepper
Olive oil

Directions
Wash and cut into wedges or cubes the sweet potatoes with peel. Add the washed and cut in half endives and peeled carrots. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and roasted garlic & peppers. Drizzle olive oil to vegetables, toss vegetables and broil for 15 minutes on top rack than transfer them to bottom rack.

I usually put the vegetables in the oven first for about 15 minutes. Than I transfer the vegetables to bottom rack and add fish to top rack and let cook for another 15-20 minutes.
