Ever since we lived in Florida and were spoiled by the overabundance of fresh fish everywhere, I have had a love for fresh fruit salsa topped fish. And since there was an over ripe mango staring me in the face, I knew I needed to run to the store for some fresh Halibut.
At first I was unsure of what type of fruit salsa I wanted to make, I had a basil plant I just purchased from Trader Joes, so I began to concoct a salsa recipe to see how it would taste. I soon became pleasantly surprised. Who knew a combination of mango, oranges, and basil would create such wonderful flavor??? I patted panko crumbs and ground flax seed onto the halibut and grilled stove top, in olive oil. Topped it with the fruit salsa…. and….layered on a bed of long grain brown rice.
Wham! Bam!
Easy Family Dinner right there.
What you will need:
Enough Halibut for your family.
{I usually buy a pound for two people…. with some left over for the pooch}
1/4 C. Ground Flax Seed
1/4 C. Panko Bread Crumbs.
2 T. Olive Oil
For the Salsa:
1 Mango Chopped
2 Mandarin Oranges Chopped
Handful of Basil Shredded or sliced.
1 T. Lemon Juice
Mix the panko bread crumbs and flax together, pat onto fish filets. Heat olive oil in pan, grilled until fish flakes easily with a fork….
While fish is grilling, mix salsa ingredients together.
I use the 90 second rice when I’m in a hurry.
When fish is done, spread out rice on a plate for each person, top with the fish, put a couple scoops of salsa….
ENJOY!
