Categories     Side     Broil     Halibut     Cilantro

Yield Serves 4; 3 ounces fish per serving

Number Of Ingredients 11

Cooking spray
Pesto
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
1 medium fresh jalapeƱo, seeds and ribs discarded, finely chopped (optional)
2 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons shredded or grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon grated lime zest
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium garlic clove, minced
4 halibut or salmon fillets (about 4 ounces each), rinsed and patted dry

Steps:

  • Lightly spray the grill rack or broiler pan with cooking spray. Preheat the grill on medium high or preheat the broiler.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the pesto ingredients. Brush half the pesto on one side of the fish. Place the fish with the pesto side up on the grill rack or in the broiler pan. Set the remaining pesto aside.
  • Grill or broil about 6 inches from the heat for 4 minutes. Turn the fish over. Spread with the remaining pesto. Grill or broil for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork (for halibut) or is the desired doneness (for salmon). Watch carefully so the walnuts don't burn.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices to the pesto.

The halibut was a bit overcooked for my liking. I would recommend cooking it for a shorter amount of time.

I found that the pesto was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt when making the pesto.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth the effort. The halibut and pesto are both delicious.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, but I still enjoyed this recipe. The pesto was mild and didn't overpower the fish.

This is one of my favorite halibut recipes. The pesto is so flavorful and the fish is always cooked perfectly.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cilantro. I always have a bunch of it in my fridge and I'm always looking for new ways to use it.

I was a bit skeptical about the cilantro pesto, but I'm so glad I tried it. It was the perfect complement to the halibut.

I've made this recipe a few times now and it's always a winner. The pesto is so easy to make and it really takes the halibut to the next level.

This halibut with cilantro pesto was a hit with my family! The fish was cooked perfectly and the pesto was flavorful and bright. I will definitely be making this again.
