Food as Medicine Tip:
Halibut is considered a "wonder food" because it's low in sodium and
fat, and high in protein. Eating just two servings per week may help
lower the risk of macular degeneration, heart disease and Alzheimer's.

Culinary Taste Tip:
Fresh fish from the sea should have very little scent. Go ahead and
use your nose. If it smells fishy or like ammonia, toss it back to
the fishmonger.

Culinary Technique Tip:
Clean and prep fresh mussels the day before cooking. Remove beards
with a sharp knife and carefully scrub the entire shell with a firm
brush. Soak in salt water overnight inside the refrigerator.

Preparation Time: 15 min
Cooking Time: 18 min
Servings: 4

1 bay leaf
1 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme OR 1 tsp dried
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp saffron threads, crushed (optional)
12 large OR 24 small live mussels, scrubbed, de-bearded
1 tsp smoked paprika
12 oz skinless Pacific halibut, fish fillets, cut into 1-inch chunks

Heat oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add
