This lean, mild white fish cooks relatively fast, which makes it a convenient weeknight meal. Roasted cherry tomatoes add a little sweetness to the dish, and they’re a great source of vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium, and folate. They also are full of the antioxidant lycopene which has many health benefits including reduced risk of cancer and heart disease.

- 1 1/2 lbs. halibut filet
