How to cook deliciously - Halibut and Spinach with Orange-Pine Nut Vinaigrette

1. Stage

Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, mix olive oil, vinegar, shallots, honey, tarragon, and orange zest with a fork to combine (but not emulsify). Stir in pine nuts. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.

2. Stage

Fish: Season halibut with salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil, then add halibut and cook, without moving it, for about 3 minutes, or until deep golden brown on underside. Turn halibut over and cook for about 3 minutes more, or just until it is barely opaque in center when flaked with tip of a small knife. Transfer to a plate.

3. Stage

Spinach: Wipe out skillet and return it to medium-high heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, then add shallots and cook, stir ring occasionally, for about 2 minutes, or until they just begin to soften. Add spinach in batches and stir for about 1 minute, or just until it begins to wilt. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

4. Stage

Divide spinach among four dinner plates. Top each with a fillet. Spoon vinaigrette over fillets and spinach mixture. Serve immediately.
