Halibut Mediterranean Style
Dried italian seasonings are readily available, from most supermarkets, already premixed. This high protein recipe is wonderful with fresh arugula or spinach salad and rice or sauteed new potatoes. For more servings, increase the recipe, accordingly. This recipe goes well with other white fish, such as haddock, cod, scrod, catfish, etc. A bottle of chianti to aid digestion would not go amiss.
