Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) Halibut fillets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large (diced small) Red bell pepper
• 1 large (diced small) Yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium (diced small) Zucchini
• 1 large (finely diced) Carrot
• 2 cloves (finely minced) Garlic
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 0.25 cup Chicken or vegetable stock

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels, then season both sides with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the halibut fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set them aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the diced red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, zucchini, and carrot to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 7

Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the chicken or vegetable stock to the skillet, scraping the bottom to deglaze any browned bits.

Step 9

Stir in the chopped parsley and fresh lemon juice. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 10

Place the halibut fillets back into the skillet on top of the vegetable mixture.

Step 11

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the halibut is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 12

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and serve the halibut fillets with the sautéed vegetables spooned on top. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired.
