Worthy of a Special Occasion

Yield: Makes 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 2  tablespoons  balsamic vinegar
  • 1  teaspoon  firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1  teaspoon  Dijon mustard
  • 2  pieces halibut (each about 1 in. thick and 5 to 6 oz.)
  • 1/2  teaspoon  olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Preparation

1. In a bowl, mix vinegar, brown sugar, and mustard.

2. Rinse halibut and pat dry. Brush lightly all over with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add fish and cook until browned on the bottom, about 4 minutes.

3. Turn pieces over. Spoon vinegar mixture over browned sides. Lower heat and cook until fish is opaque but still moist-looking in the center (cut to test), 4 to 5 minutes longer. Transfer to plates.

When I went to the market they were out of Halibut so I tried this recipe with Sea Bass and I absolutely LOVED it! It turned out so flakey and moist, simply delicious. Pair with some brown rice and drizzle the remaining glaze over it for a special treat and enjoy!12/21/09
