RECIPE! Grilled Fish with Basil Pesto Veggies!

I love this free mag that comes out every month. They just posted this recipe. Sounds yum! Check it out.

Some notes:

--try another fish....doesn't HAVE to be halibut. Try tilapia or salmon, etc.

--try different vegetables! Broccoli, brussels sprouts, asparagus...you name it...try it!

Try this grilled halibut accompanied with fresh summer vegetables as a quick and healthy weeknight dinner.
