A great way to serve fish with healthy, yummy sides.  I don't like tarragon so I substituted fresh herbs I had on hand, using rosemary and oregano.  This can also be easily scaled down to serve two, instead of four.

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 1/4 cups green lentils, rinsed (1/2 pound)
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • 4 6-ounce pieces halibut fillet
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
Directions
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 5 to 6 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic and sweet potato and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
  3. Add the broth and lentils and simmer, covered, until the lentils are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
  4. Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the fish with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook until opaque throughout, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together the mustard, wine, and tarragon. Divide the lentil mixture and fish among plates and drizzle with the sauce.
