“USDA Dietary guidelines suggest eating fish at least twice each week,” says Natalie Rizzo, M.S., R.D., a nutrition partner with Welch’s 100% grape juice. “Many Americans fall short on this recommendation, but this halibut with roasted grapes will persuade you to add more fish to your weekly meal prep.”

The glaze is created using 100% grape juice made with the dark purple Concord grape, so it brings heart-healthy polyphenols (plant nutrients) to your plate, while the balsamic roasted grapes add a sweet and tangy taste, all for just 350 calories, Rizzo notes. “Plus, preliminary research says 100% grape juice may help enhance exercise performance.”

Ingredients

  • Four (6 oz) halibut fillets
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 2 cups mixed or purple grapes
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard

How to make it

Preheat the oven to 350° F. In a bowl, whisk together garlic, honey, Dijon, grape juice, and salt and pepper. Toss together marinade with grapes on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Roast grapes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to burst, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat remaining olive oil in a large non-stick skillet. Season halibut fillets with salt and pepper.
Sear halibut fillets until golden on both sides and just cooked through (about 8 minutes total for medium-sized fillets).
Serve halibut with a spoonful of balsamic roasted grapes.
