Lemon-Caper Braised Halibut Recipe

Lemon-Caper Braised Halibut Recipe

  • 2 halibut fillets (about 5 ounces each)
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 4 cups baby spinach
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 slices whole-grain bread or 2 chunks whole-grain baguette
  1. Season the halibut with salt and pepper. Coat a medium nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat. Add the fish; cook for 5 minutes per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a platter and cover to keep warm.
  2. Reduce the heat to low. Add the oil, tomatoes, capers, and lemon juice; cook for 1 minute, stirring. Arrange the spinach on 2 serving plates; top with the fish. Spoon the sauce over the halibut and garnish with the parsley. Serve with the bread.
