Ingredients:
- 1lb of halibut cheeks from your local Fisherman’s Market, thawed
- 1 container of grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 can medium pitted black olives, drained
- 1 medium red onion, diced
- ½ cup tricolour quinoa, cooked
- 2 tbsp feta cheese, crumbled
- Marinade: ¼ cup olive oil, 2tbsp fresh parsley, 1tsp minced garlic (or ½ tsp garlic powder), 2 tsp lemon pepper, salt to preference
- Quinoa dressing: 1tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp minced garlic, 1 tsp lemon pepper, 1 tbsp feta cheese
Directions:
- Combine your marinade and coat halibut cheeks, saving some for your veggies, and let marinate in the fridge for at least an hour.
- Toss tomatoes, olives and red onion in the rest of the marinade and roast in a 400°F oven for 30 minutes.
- While veggies are roasting, cook quinoa as per package instructions. Make up your dressing in a small bowl and add warmed quinoa once done.
- On the stove get a dry nonstick pan warmed to medium-high. Without crowding the pan, place your halibut cheeks into the pan and cook for 3 minutes, flip, cook for 2 minutes and then remove from heat.
- To plate: Add quinoa and veggies to the center of the plate, and top with feta cheese. Top with your halibut cheeks, and then garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of parsley.
Enjoy!
