Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Rinse the halibut fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Brush each halibut fillet with olive oil and season both sides with salt and ground black pepper.
In a small bowl, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, unsalted butter, fresh parsley, fresh dill, and minced garlic. Mix well until the butter is smooth and the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Place the halibut fillets on the preheated grill skin side down. Grill for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the grilled halibut from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
While the fish is still hot, top each fillet with a dollop of the lemon herb butter. Allow the butter to melt over the fish.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra fresh herbs or lemon wedges if desired.
