Cooking fish is scary. This is a good place to start. The video is full of useful tips. You’ll learn what to ask for at the fish store, how to cut a wobbly lemon (it’s so simple, you’ll wonder why you never thought of it) and how to season with very little fat.

ingredients

1 clove
garlic, smashed and cut in half
10 ounces
baby spinach
1 tablespoon
olive oil plus more for rubbing
1 1/4 teaspoons
kosher salt
4 4-ounce
halibut fillets, skin removed
1 lemon
cut into 8 slices

directions

Heat the oven to 450° F. Rub a sheet pan with the cut side of the garlic then discard. In a large bowl, toss the spinach with 1 tablespoon of the oil and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and spread evenly on the sheet pan. Season the halibut with the remaining teaspoon of salt and rub with a thin coat of oil. Place on top of the spinach and top each fillet with 2 lemon slices. Bake until the halibut flakes easily, 7-8 minutes.


 

helpful hints

  • When ordering fish, ask the fishmonger to skin it for you
  • Rubbing garlic on the pan creates a low fat, simple seasoning
  • If lemon feels unstable when cutting, slice a piece from the side to make a flat surface
