Halibut, Goat Cheese, Sweet Potatoes & Broccoli

Tonight's dinner was healthy eating at its best.
It's late and I'm tired so I'll cut right to the chase:


Pan Fried Halibut
Season halibut with Borsari seasoning (our newest obsession), fresh rosemary & thyme
Heat skillet on high with olive oil (1/3 cup) and 2 T butter
Place halibut in pan, fry for 3 - 4 minutes (bottom will be golden brown) while spooning oil over the top the entire time
Flip and fry other side for another 2-3 minutes.
Done!


Sweet Potato & Goat Cheese Puree
Peel 2 lbs of sweet potatoes and chop into 1 inch cubes (ish)
Boil in salted water until soft (about 15 minutes)
Drain potatoes and place back in pot
Add 4 oz goat cheese, 2 T butter, 1 tsp truffle oil
Blend with hand mixer (or emersion blender if you're fancy)
Salt and pepper to taste
Done!


Broccoli Rabe 
Coarsely chop broccoli rabe (if I'd had skinnier, younger broccoli I would have left it as-is)
Boil in salted water for 3-4 minutes, until cooked but still has crisp to it (al dente, shall we say?)
Remove from water with slated spoon right into ice water bath
In a skillet heat olive oil and cook 1 large minced shallot as well as 6 or 7 minced cloves of garlic
Once shallots have turned translucent add the broccoli (drained) and cook 5 minutes on medium heat.
Done!







This meal is a front runner for the gold this year.
