Garlic Basil Halibut with Zucchini Chips and Jasmine Rice

Halibut and Zucchini recipe adapted from Diabetic Living, "The Ultimate Diabetes Cookbook".

Any white-fish will work in this easy garlic and basil topped halibut. Broiling the fish means it cooks up quick. Zucchini and yellow squash are also broiled with a simple drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice. We added jasmine rice to round out the meal for a quick weeknight dinner.

Cooking Option: We have also made this in a 350°F oven instead of broiling. Cook both the fish and the veggies at the same time in separate baking sheets. Test fish after 10 minutes in oven. Veggies are done in about 20 minute;, stir them halfway through cooking to brown on all sides.

In a small bowl, combine melted butter, basil, garlic, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Spread mixture on top of fish. Place fish on prepared pan. Broil 4 inches from heat for 8-12 minutes until fish flakes easily.
