Potato-Crusted Halibut

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed or flaxseed meal
• 3 tablespoons warm water
• 4 russet potatoes, peeled and grated (or use 3 cups pre-grated bagged hash browns)
• 1 tablespoon coconut flour or flour of choice
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 4 Pacific halibut steaks, skin removed, about 4 ounces each

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 475°.
2. In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed and water and set aside for 5 minutes.
3. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, cover and steam the potatoes for 5 minutes in the microwave oven, then drain. Add the flaxseed mixture, flour, salt, parsley, rosemary, and thyme to the potatoes and combine.
4. Using your hands, cover each piece of fish on all sides with the potato mixture and place on a nonstick or parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. Bake for 12 minutes, turning the fish after 6 minutes. If a crispier crust is desired, broil for 1 minute on each side after baking.
