GRILLED HALIBUT WITH BASIL-SHALLOT BUTTER

Provided by Janet Fletcher

Categories     Food Processor     Fish     Herb     Backyard BBQ     Basil     Seafood     Halibut     Summer     Grill/Barbecue     Shallot     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups (loosely packed) fresh basil leaves
1 large shallot, coarsely chopped
8 tablespoons (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
6 6-ounce halibut fillets
Extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Finely chop basil and shallot in mini food processor. Add butter, 2 tablespoons at a time, and process until blended, stopping occasionally to scrape down sides. Transfer to small bowl; stir in lemon peel and season basil-shallot butter with salt.
  • Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Rub fish fillets on both sides with olive oil. Grill until fillets are just opaque in center, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer fish to plates. Immediately spread some basil-shallot butter over fish. Serve, passing additional basilshallot butter alongside.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm halibut: Look for halibut that is firm to the touch, with a mild, sweet smell. Avoid fish that is slimy or has a strong fishy odor.
  • Marinate the halibut: Marinating the halibut in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs helps to infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during grilling.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat: This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the grill and will ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Grill the halibut for 6-8 minutes per side: The fish should be cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the halibut immediately: Grilled halibut is best served hot off the grill, with a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Grilled halibut with lemon basil pesto is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The halibut is mild and flaky, while the pesto adds a bright and herbaceous flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
