Ingredients
- 4 halibut fillets (6 ounces each)
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- 1 piece fresh ginger (about 2 inches) peeled and finely chopped
- 1 baby bok choy (6 ounces) thinly sliced lengthwise
- 1 cup frozen shelled edamame thawed
- 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms stemmed and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup snow peas strings removed, thinly sliced lengthwise
- 1 cup brewed green tea
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 3 scallions sliced on the diagonal
- Basil leaves for garnish
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Season halibut with salt and pepper.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups salted water to a boil. Add quinoa, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until quinoa is tender and water has been absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Cook fillets until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove fillets from pan (reserve pan with any oil in it). Place fish in an ovenproof dish and bake 8 to 10 minutes or until just cooked through (a paring knife will easily go through fish).
- To pan, add ginger, bok choy, edamame, shiitakes, and snow peas; reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes or until the shiitakes begin to soften. Add green tea, soy sauce, and honey. Cook until edamame are tender, about 3 minutes longer. Add scallions to pan. Place some broth and vegetables in each of four shallow bowls. Top with fish fillet and garnish with basil leaves.
- Season quinoa with salt if necessary and serve on the side in separate serving bowls.
I agree, miso broth would be better and drink green tea on side.
LoveRiot - it doesn't say it's a "Green" recipe; it says it's made with "Green Tea." Big difference.
How is this a "green" recipe when it uses multiple sources of energy? It requires cooking the fish both on the stovetop in a skillet AND a 400-degree oven for 8-10 minutes.
Not my favorite, although there were a lot of flavors mixed in here, overall it's somehow bland. I'd prefer to use regular broth next time to pull everything together, or even miso broth would be good.
