SEARED HALIBUT WITH SAUTÉED BROCCOLINI & CHARRED LEMON

INGREDIENTS:
-7 oz halibut filet (I used frozen and let it thaw in the package in cold water for 30 minutes)
-1 package fresh baby broccolini
-1 lemon
-1 tbsp capers
-1 clove garlic
-1 tbsp olive oil
-1 tbsp coconut oil
-1 tsp garlic powder
-1 tsp onion powder
-salt/pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Pat your halibut filet dry with paper towels on each side, don't forget this step! It's very important to soak up the extra moisture. Rub entire filet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium high heat until smoking. Cut lemon into half inch slices and place onto skillet until charred on both sides. Set lemon aside and wipe skillet clean with paper towel.  Keep skillet hot, but turn heat down to medium.
3. Heat another non-stick skillet with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Add in garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add in broccolini and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Sauté for 6-7 minutes.
4. While broccolini is cooking, place halibut filet on the hot cast iron skillet. Flipping once, cook on each side for ONLY 3-4 minutes! Fish can be easily overcooked. And continues cooking even after you take it off the heat. So take it off earlier than you think you need to. 
5. Top with capers and squeeze all the charred lemon over the fish and broccolini.

NOTE: If you do not have a cast iron skillet, you can also cook the halibut in a regular non-stick skillet for the same amount of time. For the lemon, cut into slices and place under the broiler on high until desired darkness is achieved.

CHICKEN POT PIE

Okay, so first things first- this is by far one of my favorite things I have EVER made. It. Is. Delicious. And all cheesiness aside, this recipe really does require a lot of love and extra steps so it's going to be a little longer & more detailed than most of my other ones. I know how unappealing a ton of reading can be before getting to what everyone actually wants (the recipe) so I will try to keep it as short as possible without leaving anything out. But please read everything for the best results! Important things to go over first: #1 The chicken - Most pot pie recipes just call for "cooked chicken" which is usually boiled or baked or some suggest rotisserie chicken meat to make it easy. I seasoned my chicken breasts before cooking them which gives the entire pot pie an extra layer of flavor. If you start out with delicious pieces of chicken, every other ingredient is just a bonus. #2 Baking - I used a cast iron skillet to bake my pot pie. I a...
