Monday night was healthy cooking class #2 with my Mom!
We have decided that every Monday we will be a seafood night!
I have no problems with that!!
I had one last package of halibut that my brother Patrick caught and brought home with him from Alaska this summer. I figured it was time to get it out of the freezer.
That was a really good idea, if I do say so myself!
This might look elegant and complicated, but it really is quite simple!
Halibut marinated in fresh lemon juice, brushed with butter,
seasoned with S&P and broiled until golden brown.
Arborio rice mixed with sauteed mushrooms, onions, garlic in a little olive oil.
Add a little bit of chicken broth at a time until the rice is creamy and cooked through completely.
It will take about 30-40 mins. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end.
Viola.....Risotto!
Fresh baby spinach added to a saute pan with a little olive oil and fresh garlic. Saute until wilted. Season with S&P.
I do not have calorie counter on this meal but I can guarantee they were low!
I served it with a baked Pear, almond and Gorgonzola salad and
a simple peach crisp for dessert!
I love cooking with my mom!
P.S. My daughter was also involved in this one. She specifically asked if I would fry her a fillet so that she could make her own tarter sauce. Of course I can. We might need to watch our calories but a 6 year old asking for fried halibut, spinach and risotto.....there is nothing wrong with that! She got what she asked for and ate a huge dinner. Win, win!!
