DIY: Goya Foods’ Lemon-Cilantro Halibut with Herbed Rice
Goya Foods does it again with this easy and healthy halibut dish. Skip the fishy kitchen smells and try this recipe that calls for rubbing the fillets down with Goya’s signature spice blends and then roasting in the oven. The outside gets lightly browned while the inside stays moist and tender. Learn how to make it yourself HERE.

Tanji’s Wine Finds: Bonterra Vineyards Merlot
Made with organic grapes, the Bonterra Vineyards Merlot ($14) is a grill-ready wine! With notes of dark fruits like plums and berries and a touch of oak and vanilla spice, this wine is elegant but without the hefty price tag. It will pair well with any charred dish like our Grilled Steak Salad with Spicy Avocado-Buttermilk Dressing. Buy it at your local H-E-B HERE.
