Sheet Pan Dinners

Yield: 6 Servings

Adapted from: Mediterranean Dish

Make this easy halibut recipe with green beans and cherry tomatoes in 25 minutes! Baked in a flavorful Mediterranean-style sauce with citrus, olive oil, fresh garlic, and spices.

For the sauce:

• 2lemons, zest and juice
• 1cup olive oil
• 1½TBS freshly minced garlic
• 2tsp dill weed
• 1tsp seasoned salt, more for later
• ½tsp ground black pepper
• 1tsp dried oregano
• ½-¾tsp ground coriander

For the fish

• 1lb fresh green beans
• 1lb cherry tomatoes
• 1large yellow onion sliced into half moons
• 1½lb halibut fillet, slice into 1½-inch pieces

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the sauce ingredients together. Add the green beans, tomatoes, and onions and toss to coat with the sauce. With a large, slotted spoon or spatula, transfer the vegetables to a half-sheet pan. Keep the vegetables to one side or one half of the baking sheet and make sure they are spread out in one layer.

Now, add the halibut fillet strips to the remaining sauce, toss to coat. Transfer the halibut fillet to the half-sheet pan next to the vegetables and pour any remaining sauce on top.

Lightly sprinkle the halibut and vegetables with a little more seasoned salt.

Bake in 425°F heated oven for 15 minutes. Then transfer the half-sheet pan to the top oven rack and broil for another 3 minutes or so, watching carefully. The cherry tomatoes should begin to pop under the broiler.

When ready, remove the baked halibut and vegetables from the oven. Serve with your favorite grain, Lebanese rice, or pasta.

Cook’s tip:

As with any fish, do not overcook halibut. It is ready with it flakes easily. Serve immediately, if it sits too long, halibut will turn a bit dry.

If halibut is not available to you, a different white fish fillet will also work. Cod and sole are two good options. Adjust baking time according to thickness of fish.
