One-Pan Wonder

Greek Style Halibut

This is simple and fast. I had it on the dinner table in 20 minutes.

Everything is cooked in one pan for easy clean up.

You can make this with any firm white fish.

Recipe:

2 tbsp olive oil, divided
4 halibut fillet or one large fillet
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 white or yellow onion sliced
2 garlic cloves minced
2 tbsp white wine
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 14.5 can diced tomatoes
1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed
2 tbsp roughly chopped fresh oregano

1. Heat a 12" non-stick skillet over medium heat with 1 tbsp of olive oil/ Rub halibut with 1/4 tsp of salt and pepper. Lightly brown the fish on one side only, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

2. Add remaining oil in the pan along with the onion and white wine. Scrape up the brown bits of fish from the pan. Add the garlic and saute for 2 more minutes. Add the chicken broth, tomatoes, chickpeas and oregano and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer add the rest of the salt and pepper and lay the halibut browned side up in the sauce and simmer until it is cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes.

It was very flavorful and the kids liked it too. I served it with hummus and flat bread and fruit.
