After the holidays, I decided it was time to throw some fish into the mix and try to lower the calorie intake. I had some halibut in the freezer and needed a recipe that cooked in the oven, as it is too cold to BBQ! This Heavenly Halibut recipe lived up to its name and there is nothing that I love better than a quick and easy meal. I paired it with a Green Salad with Cranberry Vinaigrette dressing so I could use up some leftover cranberries. It truly was a delightful meal that was lower in calories to help my resolution to lose weight and shrink my waistline! Happy Cooking, Kim!
