Recipe Instructions:
-
Combine first six ingredients: In a deep roasting pan, combine the white wine, ginger, cilantro, green onion, tamari, and lime. This flavorful mixture will serve as the poaching liquid for your halibut.
-
Cook the poaching liquid: Place the pan over medium heat and cook the poaching liquid for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
-
Add halibut: Once the poaching liquid is aromatic and simmering gently, add the halibut steaks to the pan. Ensure they are fully submerged in the liquid. Cover the pan tightly to trap the steam and flavors.
-
Simmer until cooked through: Gently simmer the halibut steaks in the poaching liquid until they are cooked through. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of the steaks, but a general rule is to cook for approximately 10 minutes per inch of thickness. Be careful not to overcook, as halibut can become dry.
-
Garnish and serve: Once the halibut is cooked to perfection, carefully remove it from the poaching liquid and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with sliced avocados, thinly sliced lime wheels, and fresh cilantro for an added burst of flavor and vibrant presentation.
This diabetic-friendly, low-fat halibut recipe is not only quick and easy to prepare but also bursting with delicious flavors and packed with nutritional goodness. Enjoy a guilt-free meal that satisfies both your taste buds and your health goals!
