Making good food doesn’t have to
be complicated or take a long time. In this recipe I use only two specific
ingredients: Halibut and Za’atar, the rest of the ingredients: oil, salt, and
pepper, are basic ingredients that can be found in almost any kitchen. Preparation time from start to finish
is very fast - only 15 minutes. Halibut
is a light white fish with a very mild flavor. I prefer using a thin slice of
Halibut instead of a thick one, this offers more surface area to absorb the
flavors that I add. Grilling or broiling is my favorite cooking method for fish
and vegetables. It’s fast, and in my opinion it emphasizes the natural flavor
of the food. Here I chose to use za’atar to flavor the fish. Za’atar is a
Middle Eastern spice-mixture of thyme, sumac and sesame seeds. If you don’t
have za’atar you can use any spice mixture that you like.
