Mediterranean Diet Recipe: Halibut with Roasted Tomatoes and Balsamic Glaze




Now that we know the Mediterranean diet is quite possibly the best, tastiest and healthiest diet  ever, how about a recipe that you can master in all of about 20 minutes?

One of my favorites is a halibut recipe from the Cooper Wellness Clinic that registered dietician Kathy Duran-Thal shared with me for a Get Healthy Texas story on CBS11.  It's a beautiful, fragrant dish that can be done in no time.

Serve this with a fresh salad, some cauliflower or broccoli and you have a perfect Mediterranean dinner. 

Halibut with Roasted Tomatoes and Balsamic Glaze

Ingredients
2- 5oz. halibut filets, you can also use tilapia or any other white fish
1 pint grape tomatoes cut in half
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp Borsari seasoned salt (orange ginger) - you can totally eliminate, I do
1 tsp salt free seasoning - I like Mrs. Bragg's, Coopers recommends Paul Prudhomme's
1 tsp fresh or dried parsley
1 Tbsp balsamic glaze**
Fresh ground pepper to taste
6 fresh basil leaves, chopped
Basil leaves for garnish

Directions
Preheat oven to 425. Cover cookie sheet with heavy duty foil. Place halibut filets on one half of cookie sheet and the tomatoes on other half. Drizzle all ingredients with oil and sprinkle with seasonings. Place in preheated oven and cook for approximately 10 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork. Remove from oven add balsamic glaze and pepper. Mash tomatoes with potato masher or fork. Stir in basil. Place halibut on serving platter, top with tomato mixture. Garnish with basil.

Balsamic Glaze - this is a great make-ahead item to use over tomatoes, asparagus or salads.
** Place 1 cup of balsamic vinegar in a sauce pan and heat over medium heat until reduced to 1/4 cup. Store in airtight container until ready to use.

  1. This is probably the very best weightloss recipe ingredients I have previously found yet. I would like to do this one. The recipe generally achieves the basic aspects of a terrific diet plan. It does possess a good deal of aminoacids while only having a few calories. And it is absolutely really easy to cook. The preparation of the recipe should perhaps only take a few minutes. This is quite simply suitable for those fat loss starters. You can also add more fruits and vegies that you choose in an effort to fortify the nutrition this tested recipes possess. I am pretty sure they have a fantastic addition for this recipe. Take a look at my tested recipes through this link too.
