Pan-Seared Halibut with Bell Pepper Relish
Need From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes approximately 45 minutes. Head to the store and pick up paprika, flat-leaf parsley, garlic, and a few other things to make it today. To use up the olive oil you could follow this main course with the Sauteed Banana, Granolan and Yogurt Parfait as a dessert.
Instructions
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add 2 1/4 teaspoons oil to pan; swirl to coat.
Sprinkle halibut evenly with salt and black pepper.
Add fish to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Carefully remove fish from pan, and keep warm.
Add remaining 2 1/4 teaspoons oil to pan; swirl to coat.
Add shallots and garlic to pan; saut 1 minute.
Add bell pepper and next 3 ingredients (through paprika); saut 3 minutes or until bell pepper is tender. Stir in parsley.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Halibut works really well with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. You could try FitVine Wine Pinot Grigio. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 18 dollars per bottle.

This slightly dry white wine is clear in color. It's clean, crisp, great tasting with floral notes on the nose and flavors of green apple and a hint of citrus. Finish is fresh.Enjoy tonight without sacrificing tomorrow.
