Halibut With Lentils and Mustard Sauce

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 1/4 cups green lentils, rinsed (1/2 pound)
kosher salt and black pepper
4 6-ounce pieces halibut fillet
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 5 to 6 minutes.

Add the garlic and sweet potato and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
Add the broth and lentils and simmer, covered, until the lentils are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the fish with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook until opaque throughout, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
In a bowl, whisk together the mustard, wine, and tarragon. Divide the lentil mixture and fish among plates and drizzle with the sauce.

Made this last night, but had chicken breast instead of fish- it was a way tastier substitute for rice!

Looks fantastic. I can't afford Halibut down here right now (16.99 a lb!?!?!!) but I'm totally doing this with hake or cod Monday or Tuesday. Mmm. Lentils!

Erika, I know this if off topic but can you make any recommendations for those who do not eat eggs? I don't like them but see that in weight loss plans, eggs are a big part of breakfast. Help

I mean, if you're not an egg eater, I'd say try for some hearty oatmeal. The more protein, the better.
