Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Halibut fillets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F). Lightly oil the grates with a paper towel dipped in a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create the marinade.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of each fillet generously with the marinade and let them sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes while the grill heats up.
Place the halibut fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side, or until grill marks appear, and the edges begin to turn opaque.
Carefully flip the fillets using a spatula. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the second side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 130-135°F.
Remove the halibut from the grill and let it rest for a minute or two. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
