Directions
Place a large saute pan over moderate heat; add oil. Add chopped onions and saute, stirring for 2-3 minutes. Don't let the onions brown. If using wine, add it to the pan, and, with a wooden spoon, scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any onion that might have stuck. Add tomatoes and pepper; bring to a simmer. Cook for 3 minutes. Add stock and almonds; stir to combine. Add bok choy and simmer to wilt; 2 minutes. Add halibut and cook until fish becomes opaque, approx. 4-5 minutes.
If using herbs, add just before serving.
Recipe makes 6 servings with 2-3 ounces of halibut per serving. Addition of wine will add less than 10 calories per serving.
Serve this over brown rice (calories not included).
