halibut w/ bell peppers & soy-ginger dressing

I love a good 20/20 experience, and I'm not just talking about the new JT album (which I also love, for the record. Except for that song about Jessica Biel being a drug dealer. That's odd. Catchy, but odd). No, my 20/20 experience is a meal that's under $20 and 20 minutes. If it's great tasting (and this one is!), then it just doesn't get any better. Here's what you'll need:

  • 1 skin-on halibut fillet, rinsed and patted dry
  • Assorted bell peppers, seeded and cut lengthwise into long, thin strips (My local market sells an assorted, pre-cut bunch for ~$2.)
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • Juice of one large orange (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest

Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, orange juice, grated ginger and orange zest. Place the fish in the middle of a large piece of tinfoil (I place mine inside a baking dish, just in case of spillage - is spillage a word?) Spread the bell peppers and onion on top. Lastly,  pour the soy-ginger dressing evenly over everything. Close the tinfoil tightly on all sides. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until fish is cooked through. Serve the fish with rice, topping everything with the leftover juices.

Bon chappétit!
