Halibut in Herbs de Provence

Yum, yum and yum!!


I picked up a great filet of halibut from Whole Foods, and made this super easy dish. I seasoned the halibut with some EVOO, salt, pepper and herbs de provence, and then I topped the filet with lemon slices before placing in the oven at 450 degrees F for about 12 minutes or so. Perfecto!

Herbs de Provence (excerpt from the epicentre.com)

Herbes de Provence, or Provençal herbs, is a traditional blend of aromatic herbs that flourish in hills of southern France during the hot summer months. Used by the handful when fresh, Herbes de Provence is also good using dried herbs. Bay leaf, thyme, fennel, rosemary, chervil, oregano, summer savory, tarragon, mint, and marjoram are some of the herbs typically used. 

Herbes de Provence is a good addition to any dish from the Mediterranean region and is especially good mixed with olive oil to coat chicken, fish, tomatoes or chunks of potato for roasting, adding to a pizza sauce or sprinkled over game or kabobs before roasting. It's also used for seasoning salads, sauces and cheeses, as well as soups and stews.
