Grilled Halibut

Ingredients:

➤4 halibut fillets (6-8 ounces each)

➤2 tablespoons olive oil

➤Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

➤1 lemon, sliced (for garnish)

➤Fresh herbs (such as dill, parsley, or thyme) for garnish (optional)

For a Simple Lemon Herb Marinade (Optional):

➤2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

➤2 tablespoons olive oil

➤2 cloves garlic, minced

➤1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)

➤Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Preheat the Grill:

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Prepare the Halibut:

1. Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel.

2. Brush both sides of the fillets with olive oil and season them with salt and freshly ground black               pepper.

Marinate the Halibut (Optional):

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves (or            dried thyme), salt, and freshly ground black pepper.

2. Place the halibut fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the               fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for about 15-30 minutes while the grill         heats up.

Grill the Halibut:

1. Place the marinated halibut fillets on the preheated grill. Close the grill lid.

2. Grill for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the halibut is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.              Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.

Serve:

1. Carefully remove the grilled halibut from the grill.

2. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh herbs, if desired.

3. Serve the grilled halibut hot with your favorite side dishes, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or a              fresh  salad.

Tips:

➤Halibut is a delicate fish, so be gentle when flipping it on the grill to prevent it from falling apart.

➤Use a fish spatula or a wide, flat spatula to make flipping the fillets easier.

➤You can customize the seasoning and marinade to your liking. Experiment with different herbs, spices, and citrus flavors for variation.

Grilled halibut is a simple and elegant dish that's perfect for a summer barbecue or a healthy weeknight dinner. Enjoy the tender and flaky fish with your favorite sides!
