Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce pieces Halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 4 for serving Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Drizzle both sides with olive oil and fresh lemon juice.
Sprinkle the fillets with fresh ground black pepper and massage the spices into the fish gently with your fingers.
In a small bowl, mix unsalted butter, lemon zest, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and minced garlic. Use a fork to combine the ingredients into a smooth herb butter.
Place the halibut fillets on the grill grates and close the lid. Grill for about 4 minutes per side, or until the fish is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
During the last minute of cooking, place a tablespoon of the lemon herb butter on each fillet, allowing it to melt and spread over the fish.
Remove the halibut from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the grilled halibut with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top for added zest.
