Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Halibut: Opt for fresh or frozen halibut steaks or fillets that are firm and have a mild, slightly sweet aroma. Avoid any fish with a strong or fishy smell.
  • Proper Thawing: If using frozen halibut, thaw it properly in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for a faster method.
  • Seasoning: Before grilling, season the halibut with a blend of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. Keep the seasoning simple to allow the natural flavor of the fish to shine through.
  • Grilling Technique: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. Cook the halibut fillets or steaks for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and flaky.
  • Enhance with Fennel and Orange: Slice fennel bulbs and oranges thinly and grill them separately. Add them to the halibut during the last minute of cooking to infuse it with a burst of flavor and color.
  • Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the halibut to a serving platter and garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives. Serve immediately with grilled fennel and orange slices, drizzled with a zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette.

Conclusion:

Grilled halibut with fennel and orange is a delightful and healthy meal that showcases the delicate flavor of the fish while adding a vibrant twist with grilled vegetables and citrus. By following these tips, you'll create a perfectly cooked, moist, and flavorful halibut dish that impresses your taste buds and makes a memorable culinary experience.
