Ingredients

  • 4 6 oz. halibut fillets
  • 2 Tbsp. Heinen's extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp. Heinen's butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 shallot, diced
  • 1 tsp. Heinen's paprika
  • 1 tsp. Heinen's dried oregano
  • 1 tsp. Heinen's dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 12 oz. package Heinen's frozen creamy risotto
  • 1 cup Heinen's pre-diced butternut squash, cooked

Instructions

  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the paprika, oregano, basil, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes. Add the shallots and continue to sauté for 2 minutes.
  3. Add the butter and stir until it melts. Add the lemon juice and stir well.
  4. Pat the halibut dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Rub each fillet with the spice mixture.
  5. Place the halibut, skin-side-up, in the skillet. Sear the first side for 4-5 minutes.
  6. Flip and let the other side sear while spooning some of the butter-lemon sauce over top. Continue cooking until the fish is cooked through.
  7. Cook the frozen creamy risotto according to the package instructions. Stir in the cooked butternut squash.
  8. Serve the warm halibut on top of the butternut squash risotto and garnish with lemon slices and fresh parsley.
