GRILLED HALIBUT WITH LEMON-BASIL VINAIGRETTE RECIPE - (3.8/5)



Grilled Halibut with Lemon-Basil Vinaigrette Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by SushiChick

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil (preferably extra-virgin)
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon lemon peel, grated
3 tablespoons fresh basil, thinly sliced or 3 teaspoons dried
2 teaspoons drained capers
4 (5-6 ounce) halibut steaks (about 3/4 inch thick)

Steps:

  • Whisk lemon juice, olive oil, crushed garlic cloves and grated lemon peel in small bowl to blend. Stir in 2 tablespoons fresh basil and capers. Season vinaigrette to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 hour ahead. Let stand at room temperature.) Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Season halibut steaks with salt and pepper. Brush fish with 1 tablespoon vinaigrette, dividing equally. Grill or broil halibut steaks until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer fish to plates. Rewhisk remaining vinaigrette; pour over fish. Garnish fish with remaining 1 tablespoon basil and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest halibut you can find. Look for firm, opaque flesh with a mild, slightly sweet smell.
  • Use a good-quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is best.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill. Leave some space between the halibut fillets so they cook evenly.
  • Cook the halibut over medium heat. This will prevent it from drying out.
  • Flip the halibut fillets once during cooking. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the halibut. It should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the halibut rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the fish.

Conclusion:

Grilled Lemon Basil Halibut is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The halibut is cooked to perfection and the lemon basil sauce is a perfect complement to the fish. This recipe is sure to please everyone at your table.
