Halibut with Cilantro Butter Sauce

Fish is one of the best sources of protein and omega 3 you can eat to get a tone stomach.  The problem is we just don’t eat enough of it. The top complaints I hear are “I just don’t know how to cook fish” and “ I have heard that it’s bad for you due to the mercury levels.”  Here is a great recipe that is easy to make and with the added detoxifying effects of the cilantro sauce, gets rid of that mercury scare.

Ingredients

4 (6 ounce) fillets halibut or other white fish

1 lemon, cut into quarters

salt and pepper to taste

3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped (More if you really like garlic.)

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Preheat a grill to a medium-high heat. Squeeze the juice from the lemon quarters over fish fillets, then season with salt and pepper.

Oil grill grates liberally to prevent fish from sticking. Place fish on the preheated grill for about 4-5 minutes per side or until fish can be flaked with a fork. Remove to a warm serving plate.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the butter, remaining lemon juice and cilantro. Cook for another minute. Serve fish with the cilantro butter sauce.

This is a great high protein meal loaded with omega 3 fatty acids.  Service with your favorite steamed vegetables and you have a great fat burning dinner that will help you get that tone stomach.
