Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Halibut fillets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 8 cups (packed) Fresh spinach
- 2 thinly sliced Thai red chiles
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.
In a small bowl, combine lime juice, soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, and thinly sliced Thai red chiles. Stir well and set the sauce aside.
Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the halibut fillets. Place the fillets on the preheated grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the grill and keep warm.
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring often, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and transfer the spinach to a serving platter.
Place the grilled halibut fillets on top of the spinach. Spoon the Thai chile sauce over the fish, making sure to distribute the chiles evenly.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for extra zest.
