Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 cup quinoa
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 piece fresh ginger (about 2 inches), peeled and finely chopped
1 baby bok choy (6 ounces), thinly sliced lengthwise
1 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed
4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced
1/2 cup snow peas, strings removed, thinly sliced lengthwise
1 cup brewed green tea
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon honey

Top with fish fillet and garnish with basil leaves.
  • Season quinoa with salt, if necessary, and serve on the side in separate serving bowls.

QUINOA



Quinoa image

Surprisingly enough, quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) isn't a true grain but the seeds of a plant related to chard and spinach. Protein rich and loaded with vitamins and minerals, the sweet, nutty seeds boost energy and can help fight migraines and osteoporosis, as well as improve vision.

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Quinoa seeds contain twice the protein of rice, though it's not the quantity but the quality of the protein that stands out. With all nine essential amino acids (nutritional building blocks that help form proteins and muscle), quinoa is considered a complete protein. The tiny seeds also contain vitamin B2 (riboflavin) and magnesium, two nutrients that may help reduce the frequency of migraines. Magnesium may also help prevent hypertension (high blood pressure) and osteoporosis, while riboflavin may ward off cataracts. Quinoa contains vitamins B6 and E, as well as high levels of immunity-boosting iron and zinc. It's also a good source of dietary fiber, packing 5.2 grams per one cup serving. Since it's technically not a grain, quinoa has no gluten, making it tolerable in most cases for those with Celiac disease or grain sensitivities.
  • You'll find quinoa at most health-food stores in its whole form, and occasionally as flakes or flour. Quinoa comes in a rainbow of colors, including red, brown, pink, orange, and black. Compared with white quinoa, the red variety-the second most common type in the United States-is nuttier and contains more fiber in each serving.
  • Keep quinoa in an airtight container in a cool, dry cabinet (away from sunlight) for up to two years.
  • In its unprocessed state, quinoa is coated with saponin, a bitter substance. Most quinoa has been "desaponized." However, it's still a good idea to rinse it under running water in a fine-mesh strainer before cooking to remove any remaining residue. To cook, combine 1 cup grains with 1 1/2 cups water and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a saucepan over medium heat, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 10 to 15 minutes (you will have 2 1/2 cups cooked quinoa).

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Halibut: Select fresh, firm halibut fillets with a mild, sweet flavor. Look for fish that is opaque, not translucent, and has a slight sheen.
  • Prepare the Green Tea Broth: Use high-quality green tea for the broth to ensure a rich, flavorful base. Steep the tea leaves in hot water for the recommended time to extract their full flavor and nutrients.
  • Season the Halibut: Before cooking, lightly season the halibut fillets with salt, pepper, and any additional herbs or spices of your choice. This will enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
  • Cook the Halibut Gently: Poaching is a gentle cooking method that helps preserve the delicate texture of the halibut. Bring the green tea broth to a simmer and then carefully add the fish fillets. Avoid boiling the broth, as this can overcook the fish.
  • Cook the Quinoa: While the halibut is poaching, cook the quinoa according to the package instructions. Quinoa is a nutritious and versatile grain that pairs well with the delicate flavor of the halibut.
  • Assemble and Garnish: Once the halibut is cooked through and the quinoa is fluffy, assemble the dish by placing the fish fillets on a bed of quinoa. Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley, as well as a drizzle of sesame oil or soy sauce for added flavor.

Conclusion:

Halibut in Green Tea Broth with Quinoa is a delicious and healthy dish that combines the delicate flavors of halibut, green tea, and quinoa.
