The subtle fruitiness of extra virgin olive oil and the bite of fresh cracked pepper make this halibut dish both simple and sublime.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless halibut fillets, 8 ounces each
- 4 tablespoons plus 4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons sea salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cracked pepper
- Lemon or lime wedge, for garnish
Preparation
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Lightly brush fillets with 1 teaspoon of olive oil each, then season with sea salt.
Place fillets presentation side down on the grill, oriented to the 10 o’clock position. Grill for approximately 2–3 minutes, then turn fillets to the 2 o’clock position and grill for another 2–3 minutes. Flip fillets over, then repeat grilling at the 10 and 2 o’clock positions for 2–3 minutes per direction.
Remove fillets from grill when the internal temperature reaches 145°F, then slather each fillet with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil and season with fresh cracked pepper. Serve immediately with a lemon or lime wedge garnish.
