Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 4-ounce pieces Halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 cup (diced) Fresh pineapple
- 0.25 cup (finely diced) Red onion
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 (seeded and finely minced) Jalapeño
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 4 (for serving) Lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Brush the halibut fillets with olive oil on both sides. Sprinkle them evenly with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a small bowl, prepare the pineapple lime salsa by combining the diced pineapple, red onion, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño, lime juice, and honey. Stir well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
Place the halibut fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook the fish.
Once the halibut is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the grilled halibut on individual plates, topped generously with the pineapple lime salsa. Garnish with lime wedges on the side for an added burst of citrus flavor.
