Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C).

  6. In a bowl, combine cucumber, tomatoes, parsley and mint. Add cooled broccoli mixture and juice of half a lemon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together remaining minced garlic clove, tahini, water, juice of remaining half of lemon, salt and pepper. Add more water if needed to thin the dressing.
  8. Plate broccoli tabbouleh and place halibut on top. Drizzle tahini dressing over top and serve.
