This elegant halibut with carrots, fennel, lemon, and garlic is a vibrant, diabetes-friendly dish that celebrates fresh Mediterranean flavours. Slow-infused with garlic-infused olive oil and steamed in a foil parcel, the halibut remains incredibly moist while absorbing the aromatic notes of thyme and citrus. The combination of sweet roasted carrots and anise-scented fennel provides a sophisticated base, making this a colourful and balanced meal that feels truly indulgent without the heavy carbohydrates.
Designed to be prepared ahead of time, this healthy fish recipe is ideal for stress-free hosting or a nutritious midweek dinner. Allowing the fish to marinate overnight in its own juices ensures every bite is tender and flavourful. Serve chilled or at room temperature alongside a crisp green salad or some steamed seasonal greens for a light, heart-healthy supper that is as nourishing as it is delicious.
