sauted halibut with pecan shallot topping
Lloyd and I are moving this weekend and next weekend (we thought it would be easier to split in two) to a beachside cottage a town over. Our new place is fantastically located, right on the famed Kailua beach, but its also fantastically cozy about a fourth the size of our current place. So Im trying to streamline our belongings as much as possible, including food. The next two weeks Ill be making simple, impromptu meals using mostly ingredients we already have. Last night I went for sauted halibut with pecan shallot topping, bok choy with garlic, and baked sweet potatoes. The only thing we had to grab at the store was the fish, which was mild as can be and pleasantly flaky. I accidently sauted it over too much heat, so to prevent a charred top and bottom with a raw middle, broiled it for 1-2 minutes in the oven.Halibut is a resilient fish, and shook off my mistake like a champ.
