This is a fresh and healthy spring dish with lots of protein and fiber. It‚‘s filled with color, texture, and flavor. I‚‘m a big farmers market guy and as spring comes, the markets will get busier with a wide array of fresh, colorful, and nutrient dense vegetables. I use the multi colored tomatoes here which not only adds to the color of the dish but also adds different flavors.

Ingredients

1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed and sliced
1 fennel bulb, trimmed and cut into strips (instructional video embedded)
1 tablespoon plus
1 teaspoon olive oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper, divided
4-4oz halibut fillet
6 cloves garlic, minced, divided
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 cups cooked quinoa (according to package)
1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1/4 cup Kalamata olives chopped and pitted
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley

Directions

Preheat to 400 degrees.
In a large bowl combine Brussels sprouts, fennel, 1/2 of the garlic, 1 Tbsp. oil, and 1/4 tsp of salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
Spread in a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or silicone mat.
