Passing the Gospel on Halibut and Mango.

So, after a good one hour swim this evening, I needed some good protein for dinner. Oh well, I have to go ahead and spill my gut out here and tell you I have been yelled at by my gastrologist, that I have been neglecting myself and eating too much TV-box-meals. We all know how unhealthy those buggers are. It's just so easy to just pop them into the microwave and call it a meal. But now I have banned myself from those boxes. And you know what...I do not miss them at all. No easy-lazy-convenient-TV Box Meal withdrawal here. Yeah!

So, I have been cooking every night and its been wonderful. Its not like I don't know how to cook...hee...hee... I was just lazy to cook for myself.

I have been exploring and conjuring up simple healthy recipes that I can whip up in 30 minutes after my swim and walk with Lil Bina. I have been grilling all kinds of fish. Fish I can find from the neighborhood market and paring them with simple toppings. Exploring and making up toppings or simple chutneys has been fun too.

Tonight, its Halibut with Mango Mint Basil and Cilantro Chutney with a side of roasted asparagus. Very easy. Very yummy. Very healthy.

So, here I'm passing the gospel on halibut with Mango chutney off to you. Enjoy. Make it tomorrow night or what the hell...make it tonight.

Any white fish (sea bass or halibut)
Rinse it and pat dry it with a kitchen towel. Drizzle some sea salt and olive oil on it. Sprinkle some oregano just to add some flavor to it. Fire up your grill and when ready, place skin side down and grill. Half way through squeeze some lemon juice and turn fish and grill on meat side until desired tenderness.
In the mean time, roast some asparagus on the grill too. I like to squeeze a tiny bit of lemon on my grill asparagus.

For Chutney: Dice some mango (I used a medium size mango). Make sure your mango is not over ripe and mushy. Chopped a tiny bit of mint, basil and cilantro leaves. Mix them with the mango. I had some cherry tomatoes in my refrigerator, so I diced them small and added them to the chutney. Squeeze some lemon juice and mix it well. Add pepper and salt to taste.

Top cooked fish with Chutney and enjoy.
