Dijon and Almond–Crusted Halibut with Lemon and Parsley - 2.4g Carbs, 1.3g Fiber, 0.5g Sugar
From: JJ Virgin's The Virgin Diet Cookbook VIA Vital Choices
Seafood recipes abound in her new cookbook, and JJ had this about us: "The only seafood I serve in my house is from Vital Choice … because great seafood makes even the simplest recipe a stand out." Go fish! Alaskan halibut features firm, flakey white meat and a delicately sweet flavor. For a richer, more luxurious version, use macadamia nuts in place of the almonds.
Servings: 4
1/3 cup raw almonds
4 (6 oz each) wild Alaskan halibut fillets
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
4 tsp Dijon mustard
3 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tsp grated lemon zest
5 tsp organic extra virgin olive oil
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Lightly brush a baking sheet with olive oil. Place the almonds in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a plate.
Season the halibut with the salt and pepper; brush the flesh side of each fillet with 1 teaspoon of the mustard. Dip the mustard side of each fillet into the almonds, pressing firmly to help the nuts adhere. Place the fillets, nut-crusted side facing up, on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the halibut until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the nuts are browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven.
Combine the parsley, lemon juice, lemon zest, and olive oil in a small bowl. Spoon over the fish and serve immediately.
