This is from Cooking Light, Jan/Feb 2010. I like this recipe because it's pan grilled, and that's a good year-round option for those of us in the Pacific Northwest in which our typical weather patterns tend to limit our outdoor grilling season.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish. Halibut is a firm, flaky fish that holds up well to grilling. Other good choices include salmon, swordfish, and tuna.
  • Prepare the fish properly. Rinse the fish and pat it dry with paper towels. Season the fish with salt and pepper, or your favorite seasonings.
  • Preheat your grill. Heat your grill to medium-high heat. If you are using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until they are white-hot.
  • Grill the fish. Place the fish on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Make the chimichurri sauce. While the fish is grilling, make the chimichurri sauce. Combine the parsley, cilantro, garlic, red onion, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and salt and pepper in a food processor or blender and pulse until well combined.
  • Serve the fish with the chimichurri sauce. Once the fish is cooked, serve it immediately with the chimichurri sauce. Enjoy!
