INGREDIENTS

8 oz Halibut fillet

1 tbsp Olive oil

0.25 cup Fresh basil

2 tbsp Almond flour

1 tsp Lemon zest

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

1 cup Asparagus spears

1 tbsp Lemon juice

1 clove Garlic

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

• 2

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

• 3

  Pat the halibut fillet dry with a paper towel and season both sides with the remaining salt and pepper.

• 4

  Heat 0.5 tbsp of olive oil in an oven-safe non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

• 5

  Place the halibut in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes until a golden crust forms on the bottom.

• 6

  Carefully flip the fish, then press the basil-almond mixture firmly onto the seared top of the fillet.

• 7

  Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the halibut is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

• 8

  While the fish bakes, heat the remaining 0.5 tbsp of olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat.

• 9

  Add the minced garlic and asparagus spears to the skillet, sautéing for 4-5 minutes until the asparagus is crisp-tender.

• 10

  Remove the asparagus from heat and toss with the fresh lemon juice.

• 11

  Serve the basil-crusted halibut immediately alongside the lemon-infused asparagus.
