Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 batch sticky coconut rice
  • 4 oranges (I used a blood and navel oranges), cut into segments
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1/2 jalapeño, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons chopped mint
  • pinch of salt
  • 4 six-ounce halibut filets
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos or soy sauce
  • avocado oil spray

Instructions

  1. Make sticky coconut rice.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. At the same time, pull the fish out of the fridge, pat dry, and sprinkle with a little bit of salt.
  3. While rice is cooking, mix together segmented oranges, lime juice, jalapeño, cilantro, mint, and salt. Set aside in the fridge.
  4. When the rice has 10 more minutes to cook, place halibut filets on the baking sheet. Use a basting brush to brush soy sauce or coconut aminos on top. Then spray with avocado oil spray. Put in the oven to baking for 10-12 minutes, until fish has an internal temperature of 125 degrees F. Keep an eye on the fish and pull fish out when it’s about 122-123 degrees F because it will continue cooking slightly.
  5. Place halibut filet on top of coconut rice and top with citrus salsa!
