Tips:

  • Choose the right halibut cheeks: Look for halibut cheeks that are firm and have a pearly white color. Avoid any cheeks that are slimy or have a strong odor.
  • Clean the halibut cheeks thoroughly: Rinse the halibut cheeks under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Use a sharp knife to remove any bones or scales.
  • Marinate the halibut cheeks: Marinating the halibut cheeks in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices will help to infuse them with flavor. Allow the cheeks to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Grill the halibut cheeks over medium heat: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Grill the halibut cheeks for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the cheeks, or they will become dry and tough.
  • Serve the halibut cheeks with a lemon sauce: A simple lemon sauce is the perfect complement to grilled halibut cheeks. To make the sauce, simply whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, capers, and parsley. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
