Pan-Steamed Asparagus
Clock

Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1 cup whole wheat panko breadcrumbs
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 6 halibut fillets (see Note)
  • 4 (4-oz) pkg exotic mushroom blend (or use sliced baby portobellos)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (5-oz) pkg arugula
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 5 to 6 minutes or until crisp. Drain, reserving 2 Tbsp drippings in pan. Mince bacon.
  2. Combine bacon, panko, and pepper in a shallow dish. Place egg in a second shallow dish. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Dip top of each fish fillet in egg; dredge in panko mixture, pressing to adhere. Transfer to prepared pan, crust sides up. Sprinkle fish lightly with salt.
  4. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until just opaque in center. Increase oven temperature to broil. Broil fish 3 to 4 minutes or until crust is lightly browned and fish flakes with a fork.
  5. Meanwhile, add mushrooms and garlic to hot drippings in pan; cook over medium heat 8 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat; cool slightly.
  6. Toss together arugula, oil, and mushroom mixture in a bowl; season with salt to taste. Divide among 6 plates; top with fish.
