Halibut with Creamy Noodles





















We have been using Vital Choice for our source of fish. Their salmon, halibut and scallops are superb; even though they arrive frozen. I like you can decide at the last minute to have fish for dinner. Simply unthaw submerged in cold water for about 20 minutes.
I made up this recipe with ingredient I had on hand. It turned out rather well. Still playing with the times to bake the halibut; which always a bit tricky. This serve 2 people.
Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup half and half
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 jalapeno peppers (chopped) (adjust heat to your liking)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2-6 ounce pieces of halbut
  • 1 fresh lemon (sliced with seeds removed)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh pesto
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • jovial egg rice noodles
Directions:
Combine half and half and chicken broth in a medium saucepan and heat gently. Add the chopped jalepenos, salt and pepper. Simmer on low.

Wash and pat dry halbut pieces. Butter and salt and pepper a piece of parchment paper. Place halibut on  paper and salt and pepper tops. Add 1 tablespoon each pesto on top of halibut and then evenly place sliced lemon.

Bake haibut at 400-degree oven for about 12 minutes.

While haibut is baking cook egg noodles according to package directions.

Place cooked noodles in 2 bowls, add heated sauce and place baked halibut on top. 

Garnish suggestions: fresh spinach and shredded raw carrots
