Pan-Seared Cod with Balsamic Vinegar & Thyme
1 pound fresh cod filet (or boneless, skinless chicken breasts)
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
salt and pepper to taste

Sprinkle fish with salt and freshly ground pepper on both sides. Heat a large skillet for which you have a cover over medium-high heat. When hot, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, place the fish in the pan, lower the heat to medium and cook for five minutes or until the underside is brown and a crust begins to form.

Carefully turn the fish over, turn the heat down to medium-low and cover the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes more. * Fish is done when it flakes with a fork. Remove fish from skillet and place on a plate. Bring the heat back up to medium-high, add the balsamic vinegar and cook quickly, scraping the pan with a spatula.

Turn off the heat, put the fish back in the skillet and turn over to coat both sides with the reduced vinegar. Sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves and serve immediately.

* Note: Fish should cook for about 10 minutes for each inch of thickness. If you use chicken breast instead, it will need a total of about 15 minutes cooking time.

Halibut & Vegetable Kabobs
2 pounds fresh halibut filet
1/2 red pepper
1/2 yellow pepper
1 yellow onion
16 cherry tomatoes
16 medium white
mushrooms

Basting Sauce:
8 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
4 cloves garlic
1 slice fresh ginger root
1/2-inch thick
2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar

Cut the halibut filet into 1-inch cubes, making enough to evenly thread onto 8 skewers. * Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside. Cut the red and yellow peppers into 1-inch squares. Cut the onion into 8 large chunks, and then separate each chunk into 2 pieces for easier threading. Wash the mushrooms and snap out the stems.

If you plan to barbecue the kabobs and are using wooden skewers, soak the skewers in water briefly before threading so they don't burn. Thread the fish, peppers, tomatoes, onion chunks and mushrooms onto 4 large or 8 small skewers. If you are not going to cook the kabobs right away, place in the refrigerator, loosely covered with waxed paper. Whirl all ingredients for the basting sauce in the blender. The basting sauce can be made in advance and refrigerated.

Preheat broiler (or prepare barbecue) and spray cold broiler pan with pan spray. Place broiler pan under the heat for a few minutes to heat up, then place the skewers carefully on the hot pan. This will sear the fish and vegetables quickly. Spoon some of the basting sauce over the fish, and broil 3 to 4 minutes, or until fish and vegetables begin to brown. Turn skewers, spoon basting sauce over, and cook the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon any additional basting sauce over the fish when serving.

* Note: Any firm fish will work for this recipe, as will cubed chicken breast. Vary the vegetables according to your taste, but mushrooms, tomatoes and peppers are a classic.
