INGREDIENTS

7 oz halibut fillet

2 tbsp almond flour

2 tbsp fresh basil

0.5 tsp lemon zest

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 bunch asparagus

2 cloves garlic

1 tbsp lemon juice

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  In a small mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, finely chopped fresh basil, lemon zest, and half of the sea salt and black pepper.

• 3

  Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and place the spears on one side of the prepared baking sheet.

• 4

  Toss the asparagus with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil, the minced garlic, and the remaining salt and pepper, spreading them out into a single layer.

• 5

  Pat the halibut fillet completely dry with a paper towel, then brush the top with the remaining teaspoon of olive oil.

• 6

  Press the basil-almond mixture firmly onto the top of the halibut to create an even crust, then place the fish on the other side of the baking sheet.

• 7

  Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

• 8

  Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle the fresh lemon juice over both the halibut and the roasted asparagus before serving.
