Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 4 tablespoons Ghee
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Brush each halibut fillet with the olive oil mixture, ensuring even coating on both sides.
In another bowl, prepare the lemon herb butter by mixing ghee, parsley, dill, lemon zest, and thyme. Set aside.
Once the grill is heated, place the halibut fillets on the grill.
Grill the halibut for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the halibut from the grill and transfer to a serving plate.
Top each fillet with a dollop of lemon herb butter immediately, allowing it to melt over the hot fish.
Serve the grilled halibut with your choice of Paleo-friendly sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
