Hawaiian Opah with White Nectarine Salsa

For dinner tonight, I whipped up a delicious new dish: simple, easy, and flavorful. We discovered Hawaiian Opah at the supermarket, a meaty fish somewhat like halibut, but a bit fattier. But, any white fish will work.

Simple and delicious: should just take 15 minutes!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 fillets white fish (e.g. halibut or Hawaiian opah)
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Olive Oil
  • 1/2 yellow onion
  • 1 White Nectarine (or White Peach)
  • 4 stems oregano
  • 1 stem green onion
  • handful basil leaves

STEPS:

  1. Salt and pepper the fish on both sides, and preheat the oven (we used a toaster oven) to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
  2. Wrap a small pan or baking sheet in aluminum foil (easier clean-up) and drizzle with a bit of olive oil.
  3. Place the fish on the pan, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 10 min or until done.
  4. In the meantime, dice 1/2 an onion and sautee with a bit of olive oil over medium heat until caramelized (light brown)
  5. Dice the nectarine & herbs (oregano, green onion & basil)
  6. Toss the caramelized onions, nectarine & herbs in a bowl with salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil
  7. Serve the salsa over the fish. Enjoy!

LAZY JANE’S TIPS:

  • Use a toaster oven when preparing small amounts of fish (for 1-2 people): it heats up much more quickly, and is more energy-efficient.
  • When stripping herb leaves off the stem, you don’t need to pick off each leaf individually. Hold the stem end, and run your fingers from the stem to the tip. The leaves will easily slide right off.
