This Grilled Halibut II recipe is perfect for seafood lovers. The halibut fillets are marinated in a tangy mixture of lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and herbs. Grilling the fish adds a smoky flavor and a wonderful char to the delicate flesh. Serve this dish with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a healthy and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 halibut fillets
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Lemon wedges, for serving
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Place the halibut fillets in a dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the fish is well-coated on both sides. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove the halibut fillets from the marinade and discard the excess liquid. Place the fish on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Transfer the grilled halibut to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
  6. Enjoy this delicious grilled halibut with your favorite side dishes or a fresh salad.
