Weight Watchers Halibut With Spicy Vegetables Recipe
Weight Watchers Halibut with Spicy Vegetables Recipe. This hits all the right notes, balancing both flavor and nutritional value. It’s a fantastic choice for anyone aiming to incorporate more wholesome options into their dinner rotation.
Let’s talk ingredients. We’ve got halibut, a fish known for its mild taste and flaky texture, at the forefront. To spice things up, we’re marrying it with a blend of veggies like squash, mushrooms, and onion.
The kick comes from some pepper sauce, and of course, we’re tossing in the classic herbs and spices to make everything pop. These ingredients not only offer taste but also pack in essential nutrients.
Wondering what to pair it with? This dish is versatile. Think about complementing it with some whole-grain rice or a crisp green salad. You could even serve it next to a bowl of steamed asparagus for that extra oomph!
While the original recipe calls for halibut, feel free to swap it with other fish like cod or tilapia if that’s what you’ve got.
If you’re not a fan of spice, you can always tone down the pepper sauce to suit your palate.
The combination of high protein fish and nutrient-rich vegetables provides a well-rounded, satisfying experience without any of the guilt.

Ingredients
- 1 small summer squash or zucchini halved and cut into 1/4 inch slices
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced
- ½ onion sliced and separated into rings
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ tsp lemon zest grated
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ½ cup water
- 1½ cups chicken broth
- 4 (4oz each) halibut steaks thawed if frozen
- 1 can (14½ oz) tomatoes cut up

Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, add squash, mushrooms, onion, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and 1/4 cup of water.
