Ingredients

  • 2 cups chopped kale, Swiss chard, or spinach

  • 1/2 cup diced roasted beets

  • 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

  • Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • 1 tsp prepared Dijon mustard

  • 1 5-oz halibut fillet, skin removed

  • Lemon wedge, for serving

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard and 1 teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil. Season the halibut fillet with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper, then brush with the mustard mixture.
  • Place the halibut fillet on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  • While the halibut is roasting, heat a small amount of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped kale (or Swiss chard or spinach), and sauté for 3-4 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • To serve, place the sautéed greens on a plate and top with diced roasted beets. Add the roasted halibut on top and drizzle with extra olive oil. Squeeze a lemon wedge over the fish for a burst of freshness.
