Ginger Stir-fried Broccoli Rabe and Halibut


Yum! I need to try more fish. Good thing I bought flounder tonight so I'll have something else to try cooking next week. But tonight I couldn't resist splurging on Halibut. My $9 piece of Halibut. But that's why it's $9. It's wonderful. And it reminds me of Seattle. But I digress...

I was in the mood for ginger green beans or asparagus -- the kind at sushi restaurants. But broccoli rabe was on sale. So here's my spin. Feel free to double the recipe if you're cooking for more than one..wah wah wah.

6-oz. filet halibut
1 bunch broccoli rabe, ends trimmed
1 Tbsp. minced ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp. rice wine vinegar
1/2 tsp. sesame oil
1 Tbsp. canola oil
salt & pepper
oil

Combine the ginger, garlic, vinegar, and oils. Whisk until combined and set aside.

Heat a large non-stick skillet over high heat. Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper. Place skin side down in the pan, cover, and saute for 2 minutes. After two minutes, check the fish to ensure it's not burning , then add 1-2 teaspoons water to start steaming the fish, cover, and cook another 2 minutes. Then add the broccoli. Cover again, saute for 2 minutes. Uncover, add the ginger sauce, stir, cover, and cook another 2 minutes or until the fish is cooked through. Serves 1.

Remember Me?




Yes. Hi again. My camera broke, and so I've been a little MIA. I think I'm going to invest in a new one, but I'm not there yet. Until then, my camera phone may just have to do.

Here's a quick, easy recipe for you - Heirloom Tomato, Proscuitto, and Wisconsin Cheddar Grilled Cheese. Delicious!

Heirloom Tomato Grilled Cheese with Proscuitto and Wisconsin Cheddar Cheese

2 Slices bread
3-4 slices heirloom tomatoes, sliced thin
2 slices proscuitto
2 slices cheddar cheese
1 Tbsp. butter or unrefined coconut oil

You know the drill. Butter one side of each piece of bread. Place slice of bread, butter side down in a non-stick pan. Layer the cheese, tomato, and proscuitto. Top with the other slice of bread, butter side up. Grill over very low heat until bread is brown and cheese is melted (be sure to flip it too!)
