Quick, easy, and delicious! Low carb, high flavor. The fresh basil, tomatoes, and balsamic beautifully complement the halibut. I serve on a bed of brown rice.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• nonstick cooking spray
• ⅓ cup chopped fresh basil
• 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 4 (4 ounce) fillets halibut

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place an oven rack about 5 inches from the heat source. Prepare a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Step 2

Arrange halibut on prepared baking sheet and bake until lightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Flip fillets, season with salt and black pepper, and continue cooking until flesh is opaque, 1 to 2 minutes more.

Step 3

Top each fillet with a mozzarella cheese slice, a basil leaf, and a tomato slice, respectively; repeat layers.

Step 4

Return halibut to oven and bake until cheese begins to melt, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Whisk balsamic vinegar and olive oil together in a bowl; soon over halibut portions. Garnish with chopped basil to serve.
