Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 as needed cooking spray
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Begin by preparing the lemon herb butter. In a small bowl, mix together the unsalted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, freshly chopped parsley, chopped dill, and minced garlic until well combined. Set aside.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Brush them lightly with olive oil and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Lightly coat the grill grates with cooking spray or a light brush of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the halibut fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.
Once the halibut is grilled to perfection, gently remove the fillets from the grill and place them onto a serving platter.
While the fillets are still warm, top each one with a spoonful of the lemon herb butter. Allow it to melt and encompass the fish with its aroma.
Serve the grilled halibut immediately, garnished with additional fresh herbs and accompanied by lemon wedges for an extra zingy flavor.
