Dinner was healthy—healthy but not light. We grill up some halibut which would have been light on its own. To give weight to the meal, we serve the halibut with an Asian-style pesto and some buttered potatoes. The additions provide not only depth of flavor, but the sense that we actually ate a meal, not just some food

We prepared the fish by rubbing it with extra virgin olive oil on both sides, sprinkling with freshly ground salt and pepper, and grilling on both side for 5 minutes over medium heat. Our son helped with the pesto although the kids ate grilled hot dogs and some of the potatoes.
