Halibut in Green-Tea Broth with Quinoa
- 4 wild Pacific halibut fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
- 2 tablespoons neutral-tasting oil, such as canola or safflower
- 1 piece (2 inches) fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 head baby bok choy, trimmed and thinly sliced lengthwise
- 1 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed
- 4 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps cleaned and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup snow peas, strings removed, thinly sliced lengthwise
- 1 cup brewed green tea
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium tamari soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 3 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced on the diagonal

- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Season each halibut fillet on both sides with 1/2 teaspoon salt, dividing evenly, and pepper.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil.
