Baked Halibut with Borlotti Beans and Tomatoes
You can’t beat a sheet-pan dinner for ease and speed, and a meaty fish like halibut is perfect for the job. The tomatoes and wine will ensure the fish doesn’t dry out while cooking, and everything in the pan will absorb all the lovely flavours of the lemon, rosemary, and garlic, making this a super-tasty midweek supper that will go down a storm with all the family.
