Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
2 (6-ounce) halibut fillets
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 (10-ounce) bags baby spinach
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 Roma tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped kalamata olives

Directions

Fresh basil leaves, as garnish

In a large saute pan over medium-high heat add the olive oil and heat. When oil is hot, place the halibut steaks in pan and cook 3 to 4 minutes each side, or until a fork can be easily inserted into the fish. Season, to taste, with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Remove from the heat and keep warm.

In another large saute pan over medium heat, add the olive oil and butter. Add the spinach gradually along with the crushed garlic and salt. Saute until the spinach

is wilted. Season, to taste, with lemon juice and pepper.

In a small saucepan combine the tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, salt, and kalamata

olives. Heat quickly on high heat so that the tomatoes do not turn into a

sauce.

Put spinach in center of each plate then place the piece of halibut in the center

of the spinach. Spoon the sauce over the halibut and garnish with fresh

basil.

Simple and delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Quick and tasty! I reduced the amount of olive oil used. When I don't have halibut, I use chicken and it still takes great.

Be Careful...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This recipe is fantastic...just be careful not to add too much garlic or olve oil!! My fam loves both ingredients but we... think both should be cut back a bit...maybe 1/3 less garlic and half as much olive oil :)Read more

The kids ate it, too.
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I wanted to do something easy for lunch and had some halibut in my freezer. The recipe took 20 minutes or less. As I was... eating my kids both asked for a plate. They are 8 & 4. I could not believe they would willingly eat something so healthy.Read more
