One of the best ways to enjoy fresh halibut. Grilled and simply seasoned with salt, pepper and a little bit of lemon juice. Butter keeps it moist and caramelizes to a beautiful golden brown.
2 (6-ounce) halibut fillets
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Preheat grill.
Place halibut in a shallow tray and pour melted butter on top. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle lemon juice evenly over fillets.
When grill is ready, lightly oil grill to prevent fish from sticking. Grill skin-side up for 6 minutes, lifting carefully halfway through and rotating 90 degrees to make cross marks. Turn skin side down to finish cooking, about 4 more minutes; baste often with butter. Serve immediately.
Makes 2 servings.
