Basil & Tomato Halibut

Makes 4 to 6 servings

1 onion, sliced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 T. olive oil

1 t. butter

8 roma tomatoes, diced

14-1/2 oz. can chicken broth

1 t. seafood seasoning

salt and pepper to taste

2 lbs. halibut fillets

cooked rice

chopped fresh basil to taste

In a skillet over medium heat, sauté onion and garlic in oil and butter for 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, broth and seasonings. Add fish to skillet. Cook, covered, over medium heat until fish flakes easily, about 8 minutes. Remove fish from sauce and lay on a bed of rice. Add basil to sauce; stir and spoon over fish and rice.

Before cooking fresh produce, be sure to wash it well under cold water. Firm veggies and fruits like peppers and apples can be scrubbed with a veggie brush, while tender varieties like tomatoes and pears can simply be rinsed well. There’s no need to use soap, but add a bit of vinegar or baking soda to the water if you like.
