Ingredients
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
- Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
- Garlic cloves
- 2, minced
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup
- Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons
- Halibut fillets
- 4 (6-ounce) fillets
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, and pepper until well combined to create the marinade.
- Place the halibut fillets in a glass baking dish. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are well coated on all sides. Cover and let the fillets marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes, turning once halfway through for even flavor absorption.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates to prevent the fish from sticking.
- Remove the halibut fillets from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Grill the halibut fillets for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the meat is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Plate the grilled halibut and serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
Tips
- For the best flavor, use fresh herbs and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Do not overcook the halibut as it can become dry. It's done when it easily flakes with a fork.
- You can also cook the halibut in a grill pan on the stove if a grill is not available.
