Tips in Grilling Halibut

• Preheat the Grill: Ensure your grill is preheated to medium-high heat. A properly heated grill will help prevent the fish from sticking.
• Use a Fish Basket or Foil: Halibut can be delicate and may fall apart on the grill. Using a grill basket or wrapping the fish in foil can help keep it intact.
• Oil the Grill Grates: Even with a preheated grill, halibut can stick. Lightly oiling the grill grates can prevent this.
• Season Simply: Halibut has a mild flavor that's easily overpowered. Stick to simple seasonings like salt, pepper, and lemon.
• Don't Overcook: Halibut should be grilled for about 4-5 minutes per side. It's done when it flakes easily with a fork.
• Let it Rest: After grilling, let the fish rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
• Add a Sauce or Salsa: For extra flavor, consider serving your halibut with a fresh salsa or a light, citrusy sauce.
