Did you watch Next Food Network Star this past season? We did! It was not nearly as good as last year but we made it through and I was delighted when Damaris won the title. That being said, and as much as I was driven crazy by some of the other contestants, one of them did bring me this delightful fish dish when I started following her blog. I've never made halibut before, but I think I'm a fan. Super easy {although not any easier than any other fish that I just pop in the oven...} and the roasted red pepper pesto is pretty delish.

Recipe of the day
recipe by Nikki Dinki Cooking
Ingredients:For the fish...
1 Lbs Halibut, 4 4oz filets
1 cup Bread Crumbs
4 Tbs Greek Yogurt
1 lemon, juiced
Salt + Pepper
For the pesto...
¼ cup Pinenuts2 Roasted Red Peppers
1 tsp Thyme Leaves
3 Garlic Cloves
1 Shallot
½ cup Parmesan
2tsp Kosher Salt
¼ Olive Oil
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Make the pesto by adding all ingredients to a food processor and pulsing until it is mixed well and pureed.
- Combine 1/2 cup of the pesto with breadcrumbs in a medium bowl.
- Season fish with salt + pepper and spread the yogurt onto the filets. Then top with the breadcrumb/pesto mixture.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until fish is cooked through.
- Serve by squeezing lemon over tops of cooked fish.
Notes:
- This pesto is potent!!! Raw, it has a very garlicky/oniony bite to it. Might be able to cut back on that by decreasing the amount of garlic or shallot put in. Cooked, however, it is delightful. I was tempted to spread the remaining amount of pesto into a baking dish and cook it off, so that the zing was gone. I still might...
