Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces (optional) Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create the blackening spice blend.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Brush each fillet lightly with olive oil on both sides.
Rub the spice blend evenly onto both sides of each halibut fillet, pressing it gently so it adheres well to the fish.
Place the halibut fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side, until the fish develops a dark, crisp crust and easily releases from the grill.
Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) and the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the halibut from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if desired, and enjoy your Blackened Grilled Halibut!
