Grilled Halibut with Tatsoi and Spicy Thai Chillies

This vibrant grilled halibut dish is a fantastic example of dairy-free cooking that refuses to compromise on depth of flavour. The meaty texture of the white fish provides a perfect canvas for the punchy, aromatic dressing made from fish sauce, ginger, and spicy Thai chillies. It is a light yet satisfying meal that balances the heat of the chillies with the citrusy brightness of fresh lime juice and the crunch of chilled carrot matchsticks.

Ideal for a sophisticated midweek dinner or a healthy weekend lunch, this recipe uses tatsoi, an Asian leafy green, for a savoury base. If you cannot find tatsoi at your local greengrocer, baby spinach makes an excellent substitute. This protein-rich dish is naturally low in fat and packed with fresh aromatics, making it a wonderful addition to a clean-eating repertoire.

How to make Grilled Halibut with Tatsoi and Spicy Thai Chillies

Mix first 7 ingredients in medium glass bowl. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. (Sauce can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Place carrot in medium bowl. Cover with ice water. Let stand 15 minutes, then drain well. Brush fish on all sides with 2 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until just opaque in centre, about 4 minutes per side.

Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shallot; stir 1 minute. Add tatsoi; sprinkle with salt. Toss until tatsoi is wilted but still bright green, about 2 minutes; divide among 4 plates.

Place fish atop tatsoi. Sprinkle each fillet with carrot; drizzle each with 2 tablespoons sauce. Serve, passing remaining sauce separately.
