Orange and Lime-Marinated Halibut

Ingredients:
  • 1 tsp grated orange zest
  • 3 tbsp orange juice
  • 1 tsp grated lime zest
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 (3/4-lb.) halibut steaks
  • 2 navel oranges, peeled and sectioned, juice reserved
Makes 4 servings
  1. Spray the rack of a broiler pan with nonstick spray and preheat the broiler.
  2. Combine the orange zest and juice, the lime zest and juice, soy sauce, salt and pepper in a baking dish large enough to hold the fish in a single layer. add the halibut steaks and marinate about 5 minutes, turning once. Remove the halibut from the marinade; discard the marinade.
  3. Place the halibut on the broiler rack and broil 4 inches from the heat until just opaque in the center, 3-4 minutes on each side.
  4. Cut each halibut steak in half and place a portion on each of 4 plates. Top each piece of fish with one-fourth of the orange sections and drizzle evenly with the reserved orange juice.
WW POINTS VALUE: 4 (1/2 HALIBUT STEAK AND 1/2 ORANGE)

Note: This recipe appears in the WW in 20 Minutes Cookbook. I have cooked this recipe before and it's such a nice dinner with a citrus taste. Halibut has a nice texture to it and the citrus flavors compliment with the halibut. The dish tastes just as good without the zest. I highly recommend serving Orange-Ginger Green Beans as a side for a citrus tang.
