Tender halibut filets, rolled in olive oil and grilled. Served on a bed of rainbow chard and topped with a saffron Beurre Monté.
According to Healthline Nutrition, eating halibut has many health-related benefits. It’s rich in micronutrients, is a good source of high-quality protein, may be good for your heart, and helps fight inflammation.
Rainbow chard is kin to the beet, with larger, crisp, yet tender, leaves. Its brightly colored stalks are responsible for its name.
Beurre Monté is a method of infusing the fish with the flavor of butter – this one enhanced with the subtle, fragrant, ever-so-slightly sweet tones of saffron. The spice of legends, saffron comes in threads, which are added to a pot of minced shallots before whisking in the butter to finish the Beurre Monté.
