Thai-Style Halibut with Mango Relish - PCOS-Friendly Recipe
Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Tbsp grapeseed or peanut oil, divided
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced, green and white parts divided
- 1 Thai chile pepper or 1/2 small jalapeño pepper, minced
- 1 large ripe, firm mango, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (2 cups)
- 1 tsp naturally brewed, reduced-sodium soy sauce
- Juice of 1/2 lime (1 Tbsp)
- 4 (5-oz) halibut or barramundi fillets, patted dry
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or basil
Instructions
- Heat 1/2 Tbsp of the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the white part of the scallions and the chile pepper and sauté until the scallions begin to caramelize, about 3 1/2 minutes. Add the mango and soy sauce and cook, while stirring, until the mango is softened, about 7 minutes. Stir in the lime juice and green part of the scallions, transfer to a bowl, and set aside.
- Season the fish with the salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 1 Tbsp oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fillets and sauté until cooked through and lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. (Note: Prepare in batches, if necessary.)
- Top the fillets with the mango relish, sprinkle with the cilantro and serve.
- Tip: This recipe works equally well using boneless, skinless chicken thighs in place of the fish. All you need to do differently is simply sauté until the chicken is well done.
- Choices: 1 Fruit, 3 1/2 Lean Protein, 1/2 Fat
