Seared Halibut with Strawberry, Kiwi & Microgreens Salad





INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 kiwis, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 English cucumber, diced
  • 3 cups fresh strawberries, halved through the stem and thinly sliced
  • Juice 1/2 lemon
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Pinch each sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, plus additional to taste
  • 4 6-oz skinless halibut steaks, pin bones removed
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp ground cayenne pepper
  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • 1/3 loosely packed cup torn fresh basil leaves
  • 1/3 loosely packed cup torn fresh mint leaves

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. In a large bowl, combine kiwis, cucumber, strawberries, lemon juice, oil, salt and black pepper, to taste. Cover and set aside.
  2. Season halibut on all sides with cinnamon, cayenne and pinch each salt and black pepper, gently rubbing spices into fish. Heat a large nonstick skillet on medium-high and mist with cooking spray. Add halibut and cook, turning once, for 4 minutes per side, just until flaky and opaque throughout.
