Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound halibut fillets, deboned, cut into 4 portions and blotted dry (see Cook's Note)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 medium ear corn, kernels cut from the cob (1 1/4 cups; see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil, or whole tiny leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill for cooking over medium heat (350 to 400 degrees F). Tear off four 15-by-12-inch sheets of aluminum foil. Arrange the sheets vertically and place a piece of halibut just below the center of each. Rub with the garlic and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  • Sprinkle the tomatoes and corn around the halibut, distributing equally among the 4 pieces. Sprinkle the halibut and the vegetables with freshly ground black pepper.
  • Fold the foil over and seal upward on all sides to keep the juices in, leaving a small vent for steam to escape. Place the pouches on the grill, cover and cook until you hear sizzling, about 10 minutes. Remove 1 pouch and carefully open (the steam will be hot!) to check that the halibut is cooked through. It should be somewhat firm in the middle, and the color should be creamy opaque white. Allow the fish to rest for a couple of minutes before cutting into it.
  • Sprinkle with the basil and drizzle with 2 teaspoons olive oil for added richness if desired. Serve.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH BAKED TOMATOES



Grilled Halibut With Baked Tomatoes image

Provided by Moira Hodgson

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large halibut steak or two small ones (about 2 to 2 1/2 pounds total)
Juice 1 lemon
About 1/2 cup olive oil
4 medium tomatoes
1 clove garlic
3 tablespoons parsley
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Wipe the halibut steaks dry and brush with lemon juice and one-fourth cup olive oil. Set aside.
  • Cut the tomatoes in half. If they have a great deal of seeds, remove some. Place tomatoes cut-side up in a flameproof baking dish, tightly packed because they will shrink in cooking. Sprinkle them with garlic, parsley, salt and pepper and add enough olive oil to come about one-fourth inch up the sides. Cook on top of the stove for 15 minutes, or until tomatoes are tender, then transfer them to the oven and bake for about one hour or until they have shrunk to about half their original size.
  • Meanwhile, preheat broiler or charcoal grill. Season the halibut steaks with salt and pepper and broil for six to seven minutes on each side, turning once. Place on a serving dish. Remove tomatoes from baking dish with a slotted spoon, leaving most of the oil behind, and arrange them on the serving dish around the halibut.

GRILLED HALIBUT FILLETS WITH TOMATO AND DILL



Grilled Halibut Fillets With Tomato and Dill image

I love to get recipe cards at the store and that's where this easy one comes from. This is actually prepared by broiling. This is a light recipe. The card states that halibut is an excellent source of vitamin B12, and it is a good source of niacin which keeps your body building red blood cells.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality halibut: Look for halibut that is firm to the touch and has a mild, sweet smell. Avoid fish that is slimy or has a strong odor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: In addition to tomatoes, you can use other vegetables such as zucchini, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Choose vegetables that are in season and that you enjoy.
  • Season the halibut and vegetables well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to season the halibut and vegetables. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Cook the packets over medium heat: This will help to prevent the fish and vegetables from overcooking. If you are using a grill, cook the packets over indirect heat.
  • Serve the packets immediately: Once the packets are cooked, open them up and serve the fish and vegetables immediately. You can garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice.

Conclusion:

Grilled halibut and tomato packets are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The halibut is cooked to perfection in the packets, and the tomatoes and vegetables add a burst of flavor. This dish is also a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
