Ingredients

  • 4 Vital Choice Alaskan halibut portions (3 to 6 ounces each), thawed
  • 3 tablespoons Vital Choice balsamic vinegar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Vital Choice organic extra virgin olive
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 8 slices
  • 8 large fresh whole basil leaves
  • 2 medium tomatoes, each cut into 4 slices
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
  • Sea salt and organic pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat broiler/oven to medium-high (450°F) and oil a baking sheet.
  2. Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Halibut under cold water; pat dry with paper towel.
  3. Place halibut in pan and broil about 5 inches from heat source for 4 to 6 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  4. Turn fillets over and season with salt and pepper. Broil an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout.
