Cajun-Spiked Halibut with Peppers, Mustard Greens, and Baked Sweet Potatoes

This is an awesome recipe. I adjusted it a bit for my taste buds!

Makes 2 servings
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 45 minutes - it only takes 45min because of the sweet potatoes. If you don't want sweet potatoes, then you will have this done in 25 minutes or so!

Ingredients:
2 small sweet potatoes, scrubbed and pierced
1-teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried 
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried - try to use fresh, I used dried and next time, I will use fresh. It will just taste that much better
1/2-teaspoon cayenne pepper
Pinch sea salt
Two 4- to 6-ounce Alaskan halibut steaks
1 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 bunch mustard greens (about ½ pound), trimmed, rinsed, and chopped
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake the potatoes until soft, about 45 minutes.
Combine the paprika, oregano, thyme, cayenne, and salt in a small bowl. Place the halibut on a plate and sprinkle with the seasoning to coat the fish well. Heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil in a skillet; add the peppers and mustard greens, and sauté on medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes. Add the remaining teaspoon of olive oil and the halibut. Sauté over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Serve the fish and vegetables with a baked sweet potato.

MY CHANGES:
1st change: I added the mustard greens and the red and green peppers to my salad.
2nd change: I worked with salmon instead of halibut because I felt like eating salmon!
3rd change: I baked the salmon at 375 for about 15min. My oven is very fast so adjust to what you know is right for your oven!

I hope you enjoy!!!!
