Recipe

Herb-Crusted Halibut

(makes 4 servings)

44-ounce (120 g) halibut steaks
2large egg whites, lightly beaten
1cup (46 g) fresh breadcrumbs, seasoned with herbes de Provence (thyme, oregano, rosemary, and basil)
olive oil cooking spray
1tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
1shallot, finely minced
1/2cup (120 ml) dry white wine
1/4cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice
1cup (240 ml) 98% fat-free, no-salt-added canned chicken broth
1tablespoon (15 ml) small capers, well rinsed and minced
2tablespoons (8 g) finely minced flat-leaf parsley
1tablespoon (9 g) cornstarch, mixed with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) water

  1. Lightly rinse the halibut steaks and pat dry with paper towels. Place each steak between two sheets of plastic wrap and flatten to about 1/2-inch thick. Dip each steak into the beaten egg white, then into the breadcrumbs. Set aside.
  2. Lightly coat a cast iron skillet or a heavy nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Place over high heat and add the halibut steaks. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once, until golden brown and fish flakes easily when prodded with a fork. Remove halibut steaks; keep warm.
  3. Heat olive oil in a heavy saucepan; add shallot and sauté for 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the wine and lemon juice. Cook over medium-high heat until sauce is reduced by half.
  4. Add the chicken broth, capers, parsley, and cornstarch mixture. Bring sauce to a boil. Arrange halibut steaks on heated serving plates. Nap each with some of the sauce.
