Grilled Halibut

Ready in less than 15 minutes, this grilled halibut recipe is perfect for a summer weeknight meal. Whether you’re cooking on the BBQ, a grill, or a grill pan, halibut is a light and flaky fish that is quick and easy to cook and not too “fishy” for even the non-fish lovers to enjoy.

I paired this grilled halibut with a simple tomato and fennel salad; however, it would work really well paired with rice, roasted potatoes, and/or a big leafy green salad. Regardless of what pairing you choose, halibut is incredibly high in protein and rich in healthy fats making it a great addition to any well-balanced meal.

Instructions

1. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
2. Place the halibut fillets on a cutting board, gently pat dry with a paper towel, drizzle with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. When the grill is ready, add halibut fillets to the grill (skin side down, if they have skin) and cook for about 4 minutes per side or until halibut is opaque and starting to flake.
4. While the halibut is cooking, add sliced tomatoes and fennel to a bowl, drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, generously season with salt and pepper and toss until well combined.
5. Once cooked, remove halibut from the grill and serve immediately with a wedge of lemon and tomato fennel salad. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and served hot or cold.
