White fish like halibut secretes an oily substance called glycine, a kind of amino acid, which gives off the sweet and buttery flavour characteristics of this kind of fish. Halibut is easy to find in supermarkets, and if this isn't available, codfish, monkfish, flounder or sole will do. If you buy the fish frozen, make sure to thaw it out first before cooking it.
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Serves: 2 persons
Ingredients:
2 medium halibut fillet or 1 large halibut fillet, halved
2 cups broccoli florets
2 teaspoons of olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced

1. Heat skillet to medium-high. Pour olive oil after a minute. Sprinkle a few drops of water on the pan. Once water speckles, put halibut fillet at the center. If two fillets, distribute evenly on both sides. Let fillet heat for 5-8 minutes. Sprinkle salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Flip on the other side and do the same.
