Halibut with Fresh Ginger

• From: The Pump Energy Food Cookbook

Ingredients

• olive oil cooking spray

• 1 1/2 lbs halibut fillet, cut into 4 pieces

• juice of 1 large lemon (about 2/3 cup)

• 2 Tbs olive oil

• 1 Tbs freshly grated ginger

• 1 Tbs chopped fresh thyme leaves

• freshly ground black pepper and sea salt, optional

Firm, mild, and lean, halibut is one of the best white ocean fish you can eat. We cook this with a little fresh ginger for a taste you will want to revisit again and again. This recipe is a good example of how fish should be cooked: simply and without a lot of flourishes.

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• Spray a baking pan large enough to hold the halibut in a single layer with cooking spray. Lay the halibut in the pan.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, grated ginger, and thyme. Pour over the halibut, spreading the mixture evenly over the fish.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes when pierced with a fork. The size and thickness of the fish will affect the cooking time.
• Serve with the pan juices spooned over the fish. Season generously with pepper and with a pinch of salt, if desired.
