Halibut Piccata
If you’re concerned about your thyroid, you might want to make this elegant, Sicilian-inspired dish 
a mainstay at your table. That’s because just one serving provides a hefty 90% of the daily requirement for selenium, a mineral that helps to convert the thyroid hormone T4 into T3 for use in the body. Without enough selenium, you’re body produces less T3 which leads to hypothyroidism.1

Ingredients
24 ounces wild Pacific halibut
1 clove organic garlic, minced
1/2 cup organic dry white wine
3 Tbsp organic lemon juice
1 Tbsp organic extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp organic capers, drained
1/3 cup organic Parmesan cheese
Ground pepper to taste
Preparation
In a small frying pan coated with cooking spray, stir-fry garlic over medium-high heat until limp, about 2 minutes. Add wine, lemon juice and capers. Boil, uncovered, over high heat until reduced to 1/2 cup, 3 to 4 minutes; keep sauce warm. Rub fish with oil, sprinkle with pepper and arrange in a single layer in a 12 by 17 broiler pan. Broil about 3 inches from heat for 3 minutes. Turn fish over, sprinkle with cheese, and broil until opaque but still moist-looking in center of thickest part (cut to test), about 3 minutes longer. Transfer to serving platter or individual plates and pour sauce over fish.
