BROILED HALIBUT WITH LEMON AND HERBS
Here's a simple, flavorful preparation that works well with almost any fish. If you can't find halibut at the market, seek out another flaky white fish like sea bass, flounder, or cod. Try this recipe with lime, orange, or even grapefruit in place of the lemon for a flavorful change of pace. You can use 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh, minced thyme instead of the parsley or basil. Seek out rarer herb varieties too. You can also find them at ethnic markets if not at traditional grocery stores, or you can grow potted heirloom herbs on your patio or deck. Some lovely options that work well with fish: sorrel, chervil, shiso leaf (perilla), Thai basil, burnet, or borage.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH LEMON-HERB CRUST
I was looking for recipes to cook halibut seeing as I caught 2 from a deep sea fishing trip off of Vancouver Island. The first one I caught was 46 lb and the second one was 27 lb. I found this recipe from a Hellman's pamphlet. I made a couple of changes to suit our taste. We love doing halibut this way. The topping keeps the fish moist. We had our halibut cut into 1 lb. servings so we bbq it in one piece and then cut it into portions. The recipe says it serves 4 but my husband and I split it ourselves.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, parmesan, lemon zest, salt and pepper.
- Add melted butter and toss with a fork to form a crumbly mixture.
- In another small bowl, combine mayonnaise, green onion and tomato. (The recipe says to add 1 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon but I never have it so I omit it).
- Arrange fish, skin side down, on a platter. Spread each fillet with mayonnaise mixture. Press crumbs mixture onto each fillet.
- Preheat barbecue on high for 10 minutes. Reduce to medium-high and barbecue fish skin side down until fish flakes easily with a fork and topping is nicely brown - about 10-12 minutes.
- Drizzle lemon juice over fillets and serve immediately.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH HERB SALAD AND MEYER LEMON-GREEN OLIVE SALSA
Steps:
- Season the fish with the lemon zest, thyme, and sliced parsley. Cover, and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Remove the fish from the refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking, to let it come to room temperature.
- Light the grill 30 to 40 minutes before you're ready to cook.
- Just before you grill the fish, toss the sliced fennel with the fleur de sel, the super-good olive oil, and 1 tablespoon Meyer lemon juice in a large bowl.
- When the coals are broken down, red, and glowing, brush the fish with the regular extra-virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the fish on the grill, and cook 2 to 3 minutes, rotating the fish once, until it's nicely colored on the first side. Turn the fish over, and cook a few more minutes, until it's almost cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the fish. When it's done, it will begin to flake and separate a little, but the center will still be slightly translucent. Remember, the halibut will continue to cook a bit more once you take it off the grill.
- While the fish is cooking, very gently toss the arugula and herbs with the fennel. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and taste. Arrange the salad on a large platter, place the fish on top, and spoon some of the Meyer lemon-green olive salsa over the halibut. Serve the remaining salsa on the side.
- Meyer Lemon-Green Olive Salsa
- Place the shallot, champagne vinegar, and a healthy pinch of salt in a small bowl, and let sit 5 minutes.
- Slice the stem and blossom ends from the Meyer lemons. Stand the lemons on one end, and cut them vertically into 1/8-inch slices. Stack the slices in small piles on a cutting board, and cut them lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick matchsticks. Line up the matchsticks, and cut them into 1/8-inch cubes.
- Add the diced lemon to the shallot. Stir in the honey, olives, parsley, a pinch of pepper, and the olive oil. Taste for balance and seasoning.
- Note
- The halibut needs to be seasoned with lemon and herbs at least 4 hours ahead of time. You can pick the herbs and make the salsa a few hours ahead.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality halibut: Look for halibut that is firm and white with a mild, sweet flavor. Avoid fish that has a strong fishy smell or appears to be discolored.
- Brine the halibut: Brining helps to keep the fish moist and flavorful. To brine the halibut, dissolve 1/4 cup of salt in 4 cups of cold water. Add the halibut to the brine and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices: Lemon, garlic, thyme, and rosemary are all classic herbs and spices that pair well with halibut. You can also experiment with other herbs and spices, such as dill, oregano, or paprika.
- Broil the halibut until it is cooked through: The best way to cook halibut is to broil it. Broiling gives the fish a crispy exterior and a tender, flaky interior. Cook the halibut for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
- Serve the halibut with a variety of sides: Halibut is a versatile fish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular sides include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
Broiled halibut with lemon and herbs is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The fish is cooked to perfection and the lemon and herbs add a bright and flavorful touch. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
