Sustainable Choice. For a more budget-friendly option, try substituting a similarly textured fish, such as cod, for the halibut fillets.

Very quick and easy weekday meal.

Super-easy. Made to directions using sea bass so needed a bit longer to cook fish. Liked the hot-summer-salad combo of tomato, basil, balsamic. Good choice for another snowy evening. Had CL's broccoli cheese soup to start.

Great flavor and loved the sauce. Also used cod - halibut is not in my budget. Not a big tomato fan, but it was the tomatoes had very good flavor with the balsamic glaze.

This was great - loved the flavor combination. Feta or mozzarella cheese might also be a yummy addition.

Great taste, easy enough for a weeknight. It would be better if there was a bit more sauce.
