Originally, my friend Evie had given me a great easy recipe for a pan seared tomato heirloom tomato halibut. Dutifully, while at Whole Foods the previous night i patted myself on the back for remembering to pick up fish for the next night's dinner.
............however, I forgot the rest of the ingredients! So after the gym last night we decided NOT to stop at the grocery store to complete the recipe. Laziness is a great excuse for making something out of what you have and surprising yourself with the end product! I also thank shawn for reminding me that our new stainless steel pan can go from the stove top to the oven in seconds. What came out of the pantry raid was:
Pan Roasted (then broiled) Garlic & Basil Halibut with a Lemon Goat Cheese Almond Sauce. It was delish!
For the record we used the goat cheese from our weekend in Oregon (thanks, meghan!) and Shawn's fresh basil he's been growing on the window sill.
Ingredients
2 Halibut Fillets
3 Garlic Cloves
Fresh Basil Bunch
Slivered Almonds
1 Lemon
