Grilled Halibut Herb Salad

If you don't care for oranges, or don't have any fresh ones handy, use drained capers to garnish the entrée salad instead.

INGREDIENTS | SERVES 2

2 (6-ounce) halibut fillets

4 teaspoons orange juice

3 tablespoons olive oil

¼ teaspoon lemon pepper

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon sweet Hungarian paprika

2 cups romaine lettuce, torn

¼ cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh chives, sliced

2 orange slices

  • Place a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle each fillet side with 1 teaspoon of orange juice and lightly rub it in. Brush both sides of each fillet with oil. Sprinkle each side with a little lemon pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  • Add fillets to hot grill pan and cook for 5 minutes on each side. Remove fillets from pan as soon as they are cooked and place on a plate. Let fillets rest for 3 minutes, then slice each one widthwise.

  • Combine romaine, parsley, basil, and chives in a large salad bowl. Toss to mix. Split salad between two plates. Top each salad with a sliced fillet. Squeeze an orange slice over each salad, garnish with slice, and serve.
