Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 halibut fillets (6 ounces each)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup wild rice
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1/4 cup chopped celery
- 1/4 cup chopped carrots
- 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Place the halibut fillets in a baking dish and pour the olive oil mixture over them. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
- Bake the halibut in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the halibut is baking, prepare the wild rice pilaf. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth to a boil. Stir in 1 cup of wild rice, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- In a separate skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, carrots, and mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir the cooked vegetables and chopped parsley into the cooked wild rice. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
- Serve the baked halibut over the wild rice pilaf and enjoy!
