Benefits: Heart + Immunity + Brain & Vision + Anti-Aging Beauty Here you've got a tasty recipe that is low fat, heart-healthy, and good for your circulation. It comes from a Chinese colleague, whose family owned and operated Chinese seafood restaurants for years. This is what they had the chef prepare for them almost every evening when they sat down for dinner. Besides its wonderful taste, it's also a beautiful dish with the colorful peppers. Ingredients:
1 (2-pound) skin-on halibut fillet, rinsed and patted dry |
1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut lengthwise into long, thin strips |
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut lengthwise into long, thin strips |
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and cut lengthwise into long, thin strips |
1 medium onion, thinly sliced |
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger |
2 teaspoons soy sauce |
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice |
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest |
2 scallions (dark green part only), chopped, for garnish |
Directions:
1. 1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. 2. Put the fish in a baking dish and top with the bell peppers, onion, ginger, and soy sauce. Drizzle the orange juice over the fish and sprinkle the zest evenly over it; cover the dish tightly with parchment paper. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
3. 3. Using two large spatulas, transfer the fish to a serving platter, pour the juices from the baking dish over the top, and garnish with the scallions.
4. Tangy and crunchy, bell peppers come in a rainbow of colors. They are packed with vitamins C and A, two antioxidants that work together to neutralize free radicals. Their content of beta-carotene, the vitamin A precursor, supports vision health and skin regeneration. Among many beneficial vitamins, peppers contain vitamin B6 , folic acid, and fiber—all helpful for protection against hardening of the arteries and heart disease. Compared with green peppers, red peppers contain more vitamins and nutrients, especially lycopene, a carotenoid that can help protect against certain cancers such as prostate and cervical cancers.
