Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Halibut fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium (thinly sliced) Fennel bulb
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 4 cups Arugula
Instructions
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the halibut fillets in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Add the sliced fennel and chopped parsley to the bowl with the dressing. Toss to coat evenly.
To assemble the salad, divide the arugula among four plates. Top each plate with a portion of the lemon fennel salad and a halibut fillet.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
