Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large, juiced and zested Lemon
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons chopped Fresh parsley
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon chopped Fresh thyme
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Brush the halibut fillets generously with the olive oil mixture on both sides.
Grease the grill grates using a long-handled brush dipped in oil or use non-stick cooking spray.
Place the halibut fillets on the grill, skin side down if applicable. Close the grill lid.
Grill the halibut for about 4-5 minutes on the first side. Flip the fillets carefully using a flat spatula, then grill for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is grilling, prepare the lemon herb butter. In a small bowl, blend together the butter, lemon zest, parsley, and thyme until well combined.
Remove the grilled halibut from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Immediately place a dollop of the lemon herb butter on top of each fillet to let it melt and infuse the fish with flavor.
Serve the grilled halibut hot, garnished with additional parsley and lemon wedges if desired, and enjoy!
