Steamed Halibut With Kale and Walnuts

Place settingFrancois Dischinger
Serves 4 Hands-On Time: 20m Total Time: 30m

Ingredients

  • 4 6-ounce skinless halibut fillets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 1/2 pounds kale (about 8 cups), tough stems trimmed, and washed well

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 400º F. Coat both sides of all the fish with 1 tablespoon of the oil and place in a single layer in a roasting pan. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place the lemons on top of the fish and roast until the fish is opaque throughout, about 15 minutes. 
  2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add the walnuts. Stir occasionally until lightly browned, 3 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining oil and butter and the garlic to the skillet; cook for 30 seconds. Add the kale, 1/2 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and toss. Cook, covered, tossing occasionally, until wilted, 5 minutes. Stir in the walnuts. Serve with the fish.

Quick Tip

If the fish is translucent, it needs to cook longer, but if it is milky white or opaque, it's good to go.
