What:

  • 1 3-4oz Halibut fillet
  • Salt & Pepper
  • 1/2 lemon - juiced
  • 1 Pink Grapefruit - zest & juice
  • Arugula
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Dijon Creamy Mustard w/ White Wine
  • 1 tsp Honey

How:

Halibut Fillet

  • Pour Extra Virgin Olive Oil to grill pan (just a little so Halibut won’t stick) - heat up 
  • Season both sides with salt & pepper
  • Squeeze 1/2 lemon juice over
  • Grill halibut 4-5 minutes each side
  • Halibut should flake with a fork - spring back when touched

Grapefruit Vinaigrette

  • Zest grapefruit into bowl 
  • Cut grapefruit from pith, use paring knife to cut wedges from membrane - set aside
  • Squeeze juice from remaining fruit - into bowl that contains zest
  • Add 1 tsp Dijon Creamy Mustard w/ White Wine
  • Add 1 tsp Honey
  • Whisk all ingredients
  • Whisk in small amount of Extra Virgin Olive Oil - approx. 1TBSP

Dish It Up:

  • Large handful of Arugula
  • Place grapefruit wedges atop
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Pour Vinaigrette over salad
  • Lay Halibut Fillet atop salad

Sweetness of the vinaigrette combined with tang from the grapefruit giving the salty Halibut balance.

Satisfying & Simple!
