- Pat fillets dry with a paper towel, and brush each side with the seasoned butter mixture.
- Carefully oil grill grates and place fillets on the grill for 1 minute. Gently rotate the fish on the grate 60 to 90 degrees, to make grill marks, and continue grilling for 1 more minute. With a fish turner, turn fillets over and grill for 1 minute. Rotate and grill for 1 more minute. Fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:
- Make the chutney: Combine 1 1/2 cups cilantro, the coconut, serrano, ginger, garlic, 1 teaspoon curry powder, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/4 cup coconut oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons water in a food processor. Pulse until smooth, scraping down the bowl as necessary. Pulse in 1 to 2 more tablespoons water if the chutney is too thick.
- Preheat a grill to medium high. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon coconut oil and 1 teaspoon curry powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Rub all over the halibut fillets. Lightly oil the grill with coconut oil. Grill the halibut until well-marked and the fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate. Grill the rolls until charred in spots, 30 seconds to 1 minute per side.
- Mix the carrots and remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice and 1/4 cup cilantro in a medium bowl. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Spread the cilantro chutney on the cut sides of the rolls. (If the chutney is dry, mix in 1 to 2 more teaspoons coconut oil.) Fill the rolls with the carrot mixture and halibut. Serve with sweet potato chips.

Steps:
- Brush fillets with lemon or lime juice.
- Rub with desired seasoning evenly on all sides of fish.
- Place the seasoned fillets in a well-greased wire grill basket.
- Grill in the basket over medium heat for 4 to 6 minutes for each 1/2-inch thickness of fish or until fish begins to flake easily with a fork.
- Meanwhile, make spread by combining mayo, mustard and honey (to taste) in a small bowl.
- To serve, spread cut sides of focaccia with the spread.
- On bottom half of focaccia slices, put watercress, tomato, fish, and top slice.
- Serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right fish: For grilled fish sandwiches, firm-fleshed fish like salmon, tuna, or swordfish work best. They can withstand the heat of the grill without falling apart.
- Marinate the fish: Marinating the fish in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and oil helps enhance its taste and keep it moist during grilling.
- Grill the fish to perfection: Cook the fish over medium heat until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking, as this can make the fish dry and tough.
- Toast the buns: Toasted buns add a nice smoky flavor and texture to the sandwich. You can toast them on the grill, in a toaster, or in a pan with a little butter.
- Add your favorite toppings: Classic toppings for grilled fish sandwiches include lettuce, tomato, onion, and tartar sauce. You can also get creative and add other toppings like avocado, bacon, or cheese.
Conclusion:
Grilled fish sandwiches are a delicious and versatile meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner.
