Pan-Seared Halibut Over Lemon Zucchini Noodles

If you’re trying to watch your carb intake, try zucchini noodles instead of traditional pasta. Season the “noodles” with fresh herbs and lemon juice and add pan-seared halibut to make the meal complete. Since halibut is a slightly fatty fish, it can work on the grill as well.

These spicy kebabs are perfect for your next barbecue or summer get-together. Adding herbs, sea salt, cracked pepper, and lemon juice to the salmon enhances the flavor of the fish.

Tuna is an excellent source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which are important nutrients for muscle and brain health.

Slice the tuna filets and serve with a salad filled with marinated cucumbers, sesame seeds, cilantro, and scallions. Add brown rice to the meal to make this dinner more filling.

Fish Tacos al Pastor

While al pastor tacos are usually made with pork, you can make a lighter version of these popular tacos with grilled halibut. Marinate the fish with ingredients like chili peppers, lime, garlic, and orange juice for at least an hour before grilling. Top the tacos with fresh cilantro and pineapple salsa for a mixture of herbaceous and sweet flavors.
