Truthfully white fish is something that I really struggle to cook. My go to way to cook it is with slices of lemon, garlic and a few fresh herbs, with although simple, is quite boring.


Enter this Sundried Tomato Crusted Halibut, not only is it quick and easy to make (under 20 minutes!) it’s also absolutely packed with flavour.


The coating is made in just minutes by tossing sundried tomatoes, basil, chili and garlic in a food processor and blending into a thick paste. You then add in lemon, balsamic and almond flour to give the coating a crumbly texture.


I think you are really going to love the flavours in this dish. The coating can be made up to 3 days in advance and can really be used on anything from white fish to chicken or steak.


I like using halibut for this recipe but cod, flounder, turbot or even seabass would also work well.

This fish is fantastic on its own, but if you are looking for a condiment to serve alongside, this tartar sauce works really well with it.

If you make this recipe let me know in the comment section below, I would love to hear what you think or take a photo and tag me (@everylastbite_) on Instagram, I love seeing your photos!
