Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Weeknight meals don’t need to be complicated to be delicious and this Skillet Soy Ginger Butter Halibut and Broccolini is so fast and lovely – you will hardly believe it.  The combination of soy sauce, freshly grated ginger and butter make a simple sauce that infuses both the fish and vegetables, creating one incredible meal in minutes.

I created this dish for two, but you can double it for a family of four or even triple it for larger families or dinner parties.  Fresh or frozen defrosted halibut is the protein of choice, that bathes beautifully in the sauce along with crispy broccolini.  Another thing I love about this recipe is that it’s light, yet filling enough – so you don’t walk away hungry in a few hours.

I served it straight from the pan, but you can plate it up before it reaches the table – I think it looks pretty amazing in the skillet.  Garnish the top with sliced lemons or limes, anything citrusy you have on hand.  The elegance of the tender halibut with the al dente broccolini in a light luxurious sauce makes this so delightful to eat.
