Feta and Basil Crusted Halibut with Garlic Wilted Spinach and Risotto

Serve this lovely feta and basil crusted halibut with garlic wilted spinach and risotto.
By Bryan Picard

This dish is a revelation. I had been wondering how to prepare the halibut we picked up at the market. There were some leftover breadcrumbs from the eggplant parm Bridget made yesterday and another hunk of delicious local feta from Ron. My tastebuds led the way from there. A bit of basil, a hint of mustard, risotto–of course!– and fresh spinach.

Homemade breadcrumbs are so easy to make. Just bake slices of bread  at a low temp (300°F) until they’re really dry, then crumble them by hand or in a food processor.

I used full-cut steaks, but any cut of halibut should work for this recipe.
