Almond Crusted Halibut with Broccoli
Halibut is a meaty, white fish which is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Halibut is also very high in the mineral selenium, which is needed for the proper functioning of some of the body’s detoxification enzymes that prevent DNA damage from free radicals and toxins. The almonds add the perfect crisp to this tender fish meat and are a brilliant gluten free solution to bread crumbs.
