Nutrition Month<\/h2>\n

March is Nutrition Month, a great opportunity to focus on making informed food choices and practice healthy eating habits.<\/p>\n

The Seafood Nutrition Partnership<\/a> recommends eating seafood because it\u2019s a high-protein, low-fat food that provides a range of health benefits including heart-healthy omega 3, which are anti-inflammatory and have many benefits.<\/p>\n

So why not step out of your comfort zone and try a new seafood recipe?<\/p>\n

Certified sustainable seafood<\/h2>\n

The\u00a0Marine Stewardship Council<\/a> (MSC)\u00a0works to keep our oceans healthy and protect the last major food resource that is truly wild and worth preserving \u2013 seafood.<\/p>\n

MSC supports well-managed, sustainable fisheries that work hard to conserve the marine environment. They ensure the seafood you eat is certified wild, sustainable and traceable from the ocean to your plate!<\/p>\n

Halibut<\/h2>\n

Halibut is a firm white fish with a moist, tender flaky texture and a mild flavour. It\u2019s easy to pan-sear to achieve a golden-brown crust.<\/p>\n

This recipe uses USA Pacific Wild Caught Halibut fillets that are MSC certified from the fresh fish counter at Whole Foods<\/a>. I asked for the skin removed, but you could also make this recipe with the skin on.<\/p>\n
