Recipe
Serves 2
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 garlic clove, smashed
10.6 oz. halibut
salt & pepper to taste
Noodles:
1 tbsp. olive oil
2 shallots, sliced thinly
3 garlic cloves, rough chopped
1 lb. zucchini noodles (zoodles)
salt & pepper to taste
2 tsp. lemon zest
1 tbsp. lemon juice
4 tbsp. basil, chopped
Garnish optional:
5.3 oz. cherry tomatoes, halved
½ tsp. red pepper flakes
How to Prepare
Preheat the oven to 375°F .
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add the smashed garlic clove. Pat the fish dry, season with salt and pepper, and place in the skillet, searing both sides until golden.
Once both sides are golden, place the skillet in the warm oven until the fish is cooked through, roughly 3- 6 minutes, as times vary depending on the thickness of the fish.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat to make the noodles. Add the shallots and garlic, and cook for 3 minutes, stirring until soft and fragrant. Add the zucchini noodles, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the noodles have softened. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and basil, then taste for salt and lemon and adjust if necessary.
Divide the noodles between 2 bowls and top with the halibut.
Garnish with cherry tomatoes and red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
