Simple Pan-Seared Halibut with Zucchini Noodles

Ingredients

  • 2 x 8oz Wild Pacific Halibut

  • 8-12 ounces zucchini noodles

  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided

  • 2 cloves minced garlic

  • ¼ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

  • salt & pepper, to taste

  • red pepper flakes, to taste

  • lemon, for squeezing

Directions

  1. Thaw halibut portions and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a skillet, over medium-high heat. Add the halibut and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Once cooked, remove the halibut from the pan and set aside.

  4. Add the zucchini noodles and cherry tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes or until al dente.

  5. Top the zoodles with the pan-seared halibut. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and red pepper flakes for a kick.
