Baked Fresh Halibut with Creamy Herb Sauce

Ingredients

• 2 fillets Halibut Fillets
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 small shallot
• 1 tsp garlic-infused oil
• 0.5 cup coconut cream
• 2 tbsp parsley
• 1 tbsp fresh chives
• 0.5 tsp sea salt
• 0.25 tsp coarsely ground pepper
• 1 bunch asparagus spears
• 1 cup baby carrots
• 0.25 cup water
• 1 tsp arrowroot powder
• 0.5 tsp dried thyme
• 2 cup arugula
• 1 tbsp water

Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Season halibut fillets with half of the sea salt and pepper, and 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil. Place on a baking sheet.
2. 2Toss asparagus spears and baby carrots with the remaining 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, remaining sea salt, and pepper. Add to the baking sheet with the fish. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until fish is cooked through and vegetables are tender-crisp.
3. 3While fish bakes, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, sauté minced shallot in Garlic-Infused Oil over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Stir in coconut cream, 1/4 cup water, and dried Thyme. Bring to a gentle simmer.
4. 4Whisk arrowroot powder with 1 tbsp cold water to create a slurry. Stir into the simmering sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in fresh parsley and chives.
5. 5Serve baked halibut topped with the creamy herb sauce, alongside roasted asparagus and carrots, and a side of fresh arugula.
