Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (each about 6 oz) Halibut fillets, skinless
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Clean the grates thoroughly and lightly oil them with a high-heat cooking oil to prevent sticking.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season evenly with salt and black pepper.
In a medium bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, cherry tomatoes, fresh dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes (if using). Gently toss until well mixed.
Place the halibut fillets on the preheated grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on one side, until grill marks form and the fish releases easily from the grates.
Carefully flip the fillets using a wide spatula and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Once cooked, remove the halibut fillets from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes.
To serve, spoon the fresh tomato and dill mixture over the top of each grilled halibut fillet. Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or a simple green salad.
