Halibut with carrot, celery, orange juice, soy sauce and pineapple tidbits.
Serves 4 servings
Prep time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
3/4 pound halibut
2 strips celery, thinly sliced
1 carrot, thinly sliced
2/3 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1 (15 oz.) can pineapple tidbits, drained
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
2 Tbsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp. vinegar
1 Tbsp. honey
-
Using a very sharp knife, cut the halibut into 1 inch cubes; set aside. In a medium saucepan, combine the celery, carrots, orange juice and ginger. Bring to a boil, then stir in the halibut.
-
Cover and cook over medium heat for 4 to 6 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork and is opaque all the way through. Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the halibut to a plate and set aside.
-
Meanwhile, strain the can of pineapple tidbits; reserving 2 Tbsp. of the juice. In a small bowl, combine the 2 Tbsp. of pineapple juice, cornstarch, soy sauce, vinegar and honey. Stir into the vegetable mixture in the saucepan.
-
Cook and stir until the mixture thickens and begins to gently boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more.
-
Return the halibut to the pan and add the fruit. Cover and cook about 1 minute or until heated through.
