5-Ingredient Grilled Halibut Pouches with Corn and Tomatoes

By

There’s something particularly appealing about tossing aluminum-foil pouches on the grill: The simplicity. Memories from camping. No messy pan or counter cleanup! Possibilities exist beyond chicken and potatoes, like halibut. Fresh Alaskan halibut is in peak season late spring through early fall. When cooked properly, halibut is moist and “creamy,” yet light. Halibut is a good source of potassium and contributes roughly an entire day’s requirement (300 to 500 milligrams) of the Omega-3s EPA and DHA, which are recommended by the World Health Organization due to their protective benefits against coronary heart disease and stroke.

Corn adds more staying power to this dish with a light balance of complex carbs to round it out. And let’s not forget that corn counts as a vegetable, too. The juices from the corn, halibut and tomatoes simmer into a flavorful broth that you’ll find yourself sipping with a spoon. Next time you’re thinking about cooking fish for dinner, elevate your senses with these juicy halibut pouches.

5-Ingredient Grilled Halibut Pouches with Corn and Tomatoes

Serves 4

 

Ingredients:

1 pound halibut fillets*, deboned, cut into 4 portions, blotted dry

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved (about 1 1/2 cups)

1 medium corn on the cob, shucked (1 1/4 cups)**

2 tablespoons basil, stacked and thinly sliced, or use whole tiny leaves

 

Directions:

Preheat the grill to medium heat, about 350 to 400 degrees F. Tear off four 15-by-12-inch sheets of aluminum foil. Arrange sheets vertically and place a piece of halibut just below the center on each sheet. Rub with garlic and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Sprinkle the corn and tomatoes around the halibut, distributing equally among the four pouches. Sprinkle the halibut and the vegetables with pepper.

Fold the foil over and seal upward on all sides to keep the juices in, leaving a small vent for steam to escape. Place the pouches on the grill, cover and cook until you hear sizzling, about 10 minutes. Remove one and carefully open (the steam will be hot!) to assure that the halibut is cooked through. It should be somewhat firm in the middle, and the color should be creamy opaque white. Allow the fish to rest for a couple of minutes before cutting into it.

Sprinkle with basil and drizzle with 2 teaspoons olive oil for added richness (optional).

Notes: *If the skin is still intact, it is easiest to leave it on during cooking. The skin’s good fats lend richness to the dish as well.**After cutting the kernels off the cob, use a spoon to scrape out the “milk,” for added flavor in the pouches.

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
