i pick up a few magazines when i travel and subscribe to a food magazines at home but i find that most of the times i just salivate over the photos. i never really make anything from the magazines – i’m not quite sure why it is, perhaps it’s because some of the recipes always look more challenging that i want for a simple meal at home. i found this grilled halibut recipe in time’s issue of “what to eat now” – seemed simple and easy so i gave it a go!
