Description

A delightful pan-seared halibut dish served over creamy cannellini beans and vibrant spinach, perfect for a nutritious meal.


Ingredients

  • 4 halibut fillets (5-6 oz, at least 1 inch thick, skin removed)
  • Kosher salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (1 tbsp for searing, 1 tbsp for sautéing)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) 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. Add halibut fillets, skin side down, and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  2. In another skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté over medium heat until fragrant.
  3. Add cannellini beans, chicken stock, sundried tomatoes, lemon zest, and rosemary. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in chopped spinach until wilted, then finish with lemon juice.
  5. Serve pan-seared halibut over the white bean mixture.

Notes

To achieve the best flavor, ensure the halibut fillets are fully thawed and pat them dry before seasoning.
