Ready in: 25 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 6

• 4 (6 ounce) filets halibut or other white fish
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil, divided
• salt and pepper to taste
• 8 whole green onions, trimmed
• 1 pound roma tomatoes, sliced 1/2-inch-thick
• 1 cup chopped red onion
• 1/4 cup drained capers
• 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
• 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Preparation method

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 10 mins

1. Preheat broiler, and adjust rack to 4-inches from the heat. Grease a rimmed baking sheet.
2. Brush the halibut fillets with some of the avocado oil, season with salt and pepper to taste, and place onto the greased baking sheet. Brush the green onions with a little more oil, and set aside.
3. Combine the tomatoes, red onion, and capers in a mixing bowl, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss with the remaining avocado oil, and place the vegetables around the halibut fillets, but not touching the fillets. Arrange the oiled green onions around the fish.
4. Cook under the broiler until the fish is no longer translucent in the center and flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes. Watch that the green onions and vegetables do not burn; you may have to mix them part way through cooking.
5. Transfer the fish and tomato mixture to a serving dish and scatter with minced parsley. Garnish with lemon wedges to serve.
