TINY Kitchen Sicilian Halibut

Wow, May is almost over and it's been nearly a month since my last post. The days have just been flying by as we are now in the final countdown to our wedding! Even thought we've been so busy, I've still been cooking when I can, and sticking to a healthy eating plan to help us get in our best shape for the big day. A big part of our wedding-prep diet? Yummy fresh fish like salmon, tilapia, and halibut.

This quick and healthy recipe is a great way to dress up halibut, one of our favorite fish filets to cook. Halibut makes for an awesome dinner option because it's incredibly versatile and picks up flavor easily when you add some fresh ingredients to the mix, and is incredibly low in calories and high in nutrients (a 3oz portion contains around 95 calories, 19g protein, and less than 2g of fat!). Pair this recipe with roasted veggies like cauliflower, asparagus or broccoli for a tasty, filling, yet low calorie dinner.
