Description
A simple and flavorful recipe for grilled halibut topped with a fresh herb butter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 halibut fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for grilling
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, parsley, chives, and lemon zest. Mix well.
- Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place the halibut fillets on the preheated grill. Grill for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
- Remove the halibut from the grill and place each fillet on a serving plate.
- Top each fillet with a generous dollop of the herb butter. The residual heat will melt the butter.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute other fresh herbs like dill or tarragon in the herb butter.
- Ensure your grill grates are clean and oiled to prevent sticking.
