Citrus Halibut over Grilled Tomatoes

Everyone loves to dine out in the lush atmosphere of fancy restaurants while indulging in tasty dishes whipped up by talented chefs. Unfortunately, for many of us, our tight budgets just won't allow us to eat out as much as we used to. With a few tips, you can easily re-create the restaurant experience in the comfort of your own home without breaking the bank.
Tip #1
Invest in high quality ingredients-Good food comes from good ingredients. Make sure to use the freshest produce from your local farmer's market.
Local fish markets:
Los Angeles Fish Co
420 Stanford Ave
Los Angeles, CA 90013
Fisherman's Outlet Seafood Restaurant
529 S Central Ave
Los Angeles, CA 90013
Tip #2
Don't be afraid to use spices-Fresh herbs and spices give your dish a bold flavor. By adding a little zest to your dishes, you can really spruce up a bland dish. Spices also allows you to use less salt with more flavor.
This foolproof, pan-seared halibut meal is simply divine. Seared, then placed on top of a bed of southwestern flavors is so simple and so good. Halibut is known for its delicate color and texture. It is also an excellent source of high quality protein and minerals. It's mild in flavor, absorbs flavor easily and cooks up quick. Make sure to not overcook the halibut (4 minutes on each side), the meat will start to flake off when you know it's done. The tomatoes are cooked alongside the fish in the same saute pan, soaking up all the juices from the fish and marinade. Layer the tomatoes on the bottom with some roasted corn and top with the beautiful charred halibut. Serve with some couscous for an amazingly simple and delicious meal.
