Healthy Halibut with caramelized red onions

We are all advised to eat more fish as part of a healthy diet. Halibut is not only a wonderful sweet tasty white fish. It is also extremely high in nutrients and contains all those essential ingredients such as omega 3 fatty acids and vitamins that are so essential for a healthy body.

You will need (serves 4):

3 TBSP vegetable oil
2 small red onions thinly sliced
1 TBSP balsamic vinegar
3 TBSP melted butter
4 fillet halibut steaks
4 sprigs of flat leaf parsley to garnish



Method

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over moderate heat. Add the onion stir and reduce heat. Fry for 15 - 20 minutes over a low heat stirring occasionally until the onion is soft and tender. Add the vinegar to the pan for two to three minutes stirring frequently. Brush the melted butter over each fish fillet and place under a hot grill for five minutes then turn and leave for another five minutes depending on the thickness of the fish. Remove when firm and tender, garnish with the parsley and serve immediately topped with the onions and accompanied with new potatoes and mange tout.

It's never too good to be too healthy so why not enjoy your halibut with a nice chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc.!
