Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground sumac
- 0.25 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 Lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground sumac, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper to make a spice rub.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel and generously coat both sides with the spice rub. Let the fillets sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the halibut fillets on the grill skin-side down (if the skin is on). Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving the fillets to ensure a good sear.
Flip the fillets carefully and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fillets from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for garnish.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh citrus squeeze before eating.
