Instructions
- Preheat your grill or broiler on high, ensuring it is properly heated for optimal cooking.
- Rinse the halibut fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, and chopped dill. Whisk until the mixture is well blended.
- Generously brush the halibut fillets with the olive oil mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Carefully place the halibut on the preheated grill or under the broiler. Cook for approximately 5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has beautiful grill marks.
- Once cooked, remove the halibut from the grill or broiler and let it rest for a minute to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Serve the Haida Gwaii Halibut hot, garnished with extra dill and lemon slices for an additional burst of freshness.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the halibut in the olive oil mixture for up to 30 minutes before cooking.
- Feel free to substitute the fresh dill with other fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for a different flavor profile.
- Pair this dish with grilled seasonal vegetables or a light mixed green salad dressed with a simple vinaigrette.
