Cilantro-Lime Halibut (This is up there with my favorite seafood dishes, got this recipe online a few years back and printed it out and make this a few times a month)

2 six ounce fresh halibut filets
salt and pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic, crushed
½ cup white wine or chicken stock
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon lime zest
2 tablespoons olive oil

Season halibut with salt and pepper one hour before cooking. Place in refrigerator.

Lightly oil a non-stick pan with vegetable oil. Over high heat, sear each side of the halibut filets for five seconds each. Searing the filets will cook a fine layer on the outside of the fish so that it will not stick to the barbecue. Because of the moistness and flakiness of halibut, this will prevent the halibut from sticking and falling through the grates of your barbecue grill. This is a great tip when barbecuing all types of fish, but works especially well with halibut.

Remove halibut from pan and turn heat down to medium. Add olive oil and garlic to pan and cook for 2 minutes. Add wine or chicken stock, cilantro, lime juice , lime zest and olive oil to the sauté pan and heat until hot but not boiling.

Remove sauce from heat and baste fish on both sides. Cook on barbecue grill for 3 minutes per side, basting constantly while cooking. Serve immediately.

Simple Lemon Salmon Steak (Great Protein Meal)!!

1 Salmon Steak
1 tsp McCormick Lemon Pepper Seasoning
1/2 tbsp lite butter
1 Lemon




Directions
Season salmon steak on both sides with lemon pepper seasoning (1/2 tsp on each). I like to cut small slits in the salmon and push more seasoning into it. Then, on medium high heat skillet.. melt 1/2 tbsp of butter around skillet and place salmon steak on top. Cut lemon in quarters and squeeze one quarter on top of salmon. Flip after about 3 minutes. Squeeze another quarter of lemon over salmon. Let cook for 3 more minutes, or until you're comfortable with how done it is. I like mine a little rare inside. If you're not sure just cut it a little bit and take a look at the inside. Then plate and serve extra lemon slices for more juice!

enjoy!

I like blending simplicity, functionality and taste in my cooking. This is an easy to make meal for when you're cutting hard and have to keep you protein high, calories low, and you think everything must taste like cartboard. This will have a very spicy taste, and should be a breath of fresh air in the midst of a boring diet.
