Halibut with spinach and Berry parfaits




So...I'm a bad blogger, it's been forever since I put a new post up. In my defense, we have been out of town every weekend or have had guests. It's been a crazy Oct/Nov! But excuses aside...here is a recipe Ryan and I made Thursday night. We were exhausted after going to Epcot the night before (food & wine fest again), so we wanted something healthy and quick. We went to Whole Foods and got some halibut and produce (it was expensive, but we got a small filet so it wasn't too bad).

For the fish- on a small baking dish, line the bottom with thinly sliced lemon slices and place the filet on top. Finish with a pinch of grey or sea salt, 1 tablespoon of butter, and 1/2 teaspoon of thyme. Place in a 400 degree oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes (or until just opaque). Meanwhile in a small frying pan, saute 2 shallots in a tablespoon of butter and cook until slightly carmelized. Add the juice of one lemon and 1/2 cup of dry white wine. Continue to cook until liquid has reduced in half. Serve fish on top of sauteed spinach (heat some chopped garlic in a frying pan with a tablespoon of olive oil and put in fresh spinach and cook until slightly wilted), and pour the wine sauce on top. Enjoy!

I can't take any credit on the dessert, that was all Ryan! He made delicious parfaits using strawberries, blueberries, whipped cream, and angel food cake. It was really yummy. I'm going to have to have him make it again soon!
