Wild Pacific halibut is cut into strips, breaded in a seasoned panko crust, and pan-fried until golden, then served over greens with a lemony cucumber-feta salad, pita, and tzatziki.

Ingredients

    Halibut Schnitzel:

    • 2 x 6oz Wild Pacific Halibut fillets
    • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
    • ⅓ cup all purpose flour (can sub gluten free)
    • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
    • 1 tsp garlic powder
    • 1 tsp onion powder
    • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
    • 2 eggs beaten
    • salt & pepper, to taste
    • avocado oil, for frying

    Avocado Cucumber Salad:

    • 1 avocado
    • ½ cup diced cucumber
    • 2 tbsp diced peperoncini
    • ¼ cup feta cheese
    • juice of ½ a lemon
    • salt & pepper, to taste

    Bowl Assembly:

    • lettuce (we like a mix of kale + romaine), for the base
    • tzatziki sauce, for topping
    • pita bread, cut into smaller triangles, for serving

    Directions

    1. Thaw halibut and pat dry. Chop each fillet into 4 or 5 strips.

    2. In one medium sized bowl, combine bread crumbs, flour, spices, salt, and pepper.

    3. In another medium sized bowl, whisk two eggs.

    4. Dip each piece of halibut in the egg mixture and then the bread crumb, flour mixture. Repeat until all pieces are covered.

    5. Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and pan fry halibut for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.

    6. While the halibut cooks, prepare the cucumber avocado salad by tossing the ingredients together.

    7. When the halibut is done, remove from heat and set aside for a few minutes to cool.

    8. To assemble the bowls, start with chopped lettuce and add the cucumber, avocado salad, halibut schnitzel, pita slices, and top with tzatziki sauce.

    9. Enjoy!
