When we went on our hygge adventure blackberry picking, we ended up with tons of blackberries. Now, of course, we could have just eaten them all straight. That definitely is an option. And, a good option at that! No judgement here. When it comes to fresh berries, anything is fair game. Fresh, wild blackberries are one of my favorite things about early fall.
One thing I love about the Pacific Northwest is the ability to cook with ingredients that you bring home, and I don’t mean from the grocery store. Whether it’s foraging, hunting, fishing, or bringing in from your own garden. We stock or fridge, freezer, and pantry throughout the year, and cook with those ingredients. It always tastes better that way. When we went to Alaska, we went halibut fishing. and came home with tons of fresh caught halibut! When we were thinking about what we were going to make with the blackberries, it seemed like a natural fit to try to use it with the halibut we had recently brought home. Which, is how we came with our blackberry lime sauce for the baked halibut.
While we both believe in treating yourself, we also believe in healthy eating, and taking care of our bodies. It’s a balance. Living in the PNW, we tend to have a pretty active lifestyle, there are always hikes to summit, campgrounds to stake out, and quaint seaside villages to explore. So, we try to cook food that will fuel us, instead of leaving us feeling heavy and bloated. This halibut is baked to cut down on some of the calories of frying. It feels so indulgent, and so good, but isn’t going to blow your diet. There is plenty of good protein, healthy fats, and we served over broccoli which was divine and also paired well with the sauce. It’s perfect for a hygge evening at home, enjoying life, good food, and good company.

I made this for a nice dinner last night. Halibut is a treat around here because it is so expensive. The crust was delicious and the cook was just perfect. The fish was moist in the centre. Delicious. We will be having this again.
