Grilled Halibut
Today my husband cooked some halibut and I am going to share to you his recipe in which is very easy to follow and difficult not to forget. As the taste of the marinate is just so wonderful.
For the marinade:
– about 1 tsp grated ginger
– Zest and juice of half lime and half lemon
– 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
– 1 bunch of cilantro, chopped finely
– Sea salt & freshly grinded black pepper
– Mix together and cover to infuse for 4 hours.
Preparing the Halibut
2 large halibut and sliced into 1 ½” thickness.
Ask your fishmonger to slice the fish for you.
Brush both sides of the halibut
Let it stand for 2 hrs turning once
Grill in hot griddle.
Spoon over left over marinade to the fish.
Lastly…
BETTER TO UNDERCOOK THE FISH THAN OVERCOOK!!!
When I took my first bite, my mind drifted to the Caribbean. The taste of the cilantro brought me back to this small local restaurant at Falmouth Harbour, Antigua. When we were there, hardly any foreigners sit in this local place but we did, it serves local fish and rice with beans. This place, Josephine is on the road towards Falmouth Harbour and English Harbour, where Nelson’s dockyard, a British Naval yard for the warships in the 18th century is located.
I’m a fish monster this is nammmmm 😀
looks yummy! i’d like to try this out soon, as we’ve usually just had tilapia and salmon (and some local fish whose names I don’t know whenever our friends here go fishing) the past couple of years. hopefully the halibut here tastes as good as yours does. 🙂
Looks delicious! Kudos to your Shatzli.
Thanks for sharing, Sha. Will do this next time I spot a halibut at the fishmonger’s.
Aw, I envy you Sha. I almost “never” cook any seafood here at home because:
1. I (and the Dutchman) hate the aftersmell in the kitchen
2. The Dutchman is allergic to any seafood. He doesn’t eat any of them, he doesn’t like the taste. He can only go far with “Kropek”
So, when we dine out, I pig out on anything from the sea.
thanks to you and M! we have lots of halibut here, but only sold as steaks.
will try next.
CheH is Seb the baby fish monster? Is fish expensive in DE? Do you like fresh water fish am sure its abundant there?
PETITE: have you ever tried MAHI MAHI the dolphin fish not the porpoise …
JAYRED : I cooked you play the piano good bargain?
MANANG CELIA: Halibut is a bit expensive in UK. Look for Pollack its meaty and not so expensive…
DUtcheD Pinay: Well come to Oslo soon and we shall devour the seafood. M made some crab quiche the other day yummy…..
I used to be allergic to shimps but not this time so weird.
Stel: Handa mo na charcoal mo ha.. at mag bbq tayo sea food
That recipe sounds great. Yup, I agree fish should never be overcooked. Some filipino cooks tend to fry it to death!
