4 teaspoons chopped lemon zest
4 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
4 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
4 teaspoons chopped fresh chervil leaves
2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
4 (6-ounce) halibut fillets, skinned
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 cups cleaned fresh arugula leaves
4 tablespoons olive oil
Cherry Tomato Salad, recipe follows
In a shallow bowl combine the lemon zest, dill, parsley, chervil, and black pepper. Season the fish with 1 1/4 teaspoons of the salt, then lightly brush 1 side of each piece with 1 teaspoon of the Dijon mustard. Firmly press the mustard-coated side of each of the halibut fillets into the lemon-herb mixture. In a skillet, preferably non-stick, heat the vegetable oil. Place fillets, coated side down, into the hot oil. Cook until the crust turns golden, 3 to 3 1/2 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until the fish flakes easily, 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl toss the arugula with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Divide between 4 plates and place one of the fillets onto each mound of arugula. Top with Cherry Tomato Salad and finish with a drizzle of the remaining olive oil and serve immediately.
