Ingredients

Halibut:

1 (6-ounce) halibut steak
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Salad:

1 head frisee, chopped
1 cup arugula, chopped
10 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
1 fennel bulb, stalk removed, halved, and thinly sliced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 lemon, juiced
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

For the halibut: Place a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the halibut with olive oil and season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Let the fish rest for a few minutes then cut into 1-inch cubes.

For the salad: In a large bowl, combine the frisee, arugula, tomatoes, chickpeas, and fennel. In a small bowl mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, cumin, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the salad and toss to combine. Top with fish and serve.

One of my favorite salads! Elegant and Refreshing!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The combination of ingredients is delicious and the flavors well-balanced. Using different types of honey gives if different... flavors. Today I made it with key lime honey. Mu husband doesn't like halibut, so I made it with Sea Scallops. We both loved it.Read more

Awesome!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was wonderful! A couple of substitutions I made were using lemon juice instead of olive oil on the fish and... regular lettuce for the frisee (my store didn't carry this.) I will definitely make this again. The dressing is delicious!Read more

Refreshing & Tasty
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was surprisingly good. My husband that isn't a HUGE fish fan even said that it was 'tasty' and he'd eat again. I took... the advice of another reviewer and lightly floured, salt and peppered the fish before searing. Seared for 4 mins. a side and then put in the oven for 5 more minutes. This cooking time would depend on the thickness of the fish. It was so moist and flavorful. I also used spring mix with a small amount of romaine for some crunch in the salad mix. This will be in the front of my recipe file to use again and again.Read more

Simple, fresh, and flavorful
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this tonight for myself and three friends. I followed the recipe without any changes, and it was excellent. The... dressing isn't overpowering, and the fennel adds an interesting flavor to the salad. I will definitely make this again.Read more
