"A gourmet who thinks of calories is like a tart who looks at her watch." - James Beard
You should be seeing some healthier food around here for the next little while. Healthy eating went a bit off the rails over the holidays but we're back on course!
I want to eat fish more often but there are a lot of obstacles to that goal. I'm picky about the kind of fish I like. My favourite is halibut but it costs the earth! Two small portions of halibut cost more than I've ever paid for steak. But as a special treat, it's worth it.
When it comes to fish, halibut is my favourite. I love the mild taste and meaty texture. It works great on the grill because it doesn't fall apart easily. Served with a delicious chimichurri sauce, this meal was a big hit.
Chimichurri is an Argentinian sauce often used on beef. It consists of parsley, chili peppers, garlic, shallots, lemon juice and oil blended together. I used this recipe from Epicurious.
Add all the ingredients except the oil to a blender or food processor and blend while drizzling in the oil until smooth.
For the fish, season simply with oil, salt and pepper.
Grill until just cooked through, a few minutes per side.
Serve the sauce over the fish with extra sauce on the side.
Delicious, fresh tasting and very healthy. Served with roasted potatoes and salad.
