Lemon & Herb Crusted Halibut
Halibut is a beautifully lean fish that can be baked or broiled. This dish adds a variety of seasonings that play upon the palate – black pepper, grated lemon peel, and fresh parsley leaves. Whole wheat couscous is a flavorful alternative to brown rice and the bread crumbs lend a nice crunch.
