GRILLED HALIBUT WITH GRILLED RED PEPPER HARISSA
DH and I really enjoyed this halibut recipe from the July 2008 Bon Appetit. It had lots of flavor and it was easy for a weeknight meal. We served it with grilled asparagus.

- Thread jalapeno and garlic clove onto metal skewer.
- Brush jalapeno, garlic, fish, and red bell peppers with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle fish with 1/2 tsp cumin and 1/2 tsp coriander.
- Grill fish, bell pepper, jalapeno, and garlic until vegetables are tender and charred and fish is just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side for fish and 8 minutes per side for vegetables.
- Grill lemon, cut side down, until charred, about 3 minutes.
- Transfer fish to plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
- Peel charred parts of skin from bell peppers and cut stem from jalapeno, and transfer to blender, discarding peel and stem.
- Add garlic clove, remaining 1/4 cup oil, 1 1/2 tsp cumin, and 1 1/2 tsp coriander to blender. Process until coarse puree forms. Season sauce generously with salt and pepper.
- Place 1 fish fillet on each of 4 plates. Squeeze grilled lemon over. Spoon sauce over fish and serve.
GRILLED HALIBUT WITH INDIAN SPICES AND CORN RELISH
Here, a fragrant combination of ground cumin, turmeric, coriander and fennel seed is rubbed all over fresh halibut steaks (Pacific salmon, wild striped bass and hake also work well here). The steaks are then left to marinate for a few hours in the refrigerator before grilling. The cooked fish is topped with a quick relish made of fresh corn, ginger, onion, cilantro and a bit of the spice mixture that's been sautéed in clarified butter. It's an unexpected yet extraordinary way to prepare fish that might just win over the self-proclaimed seafood-haters at the table.

Steps:
- Combine cumin, turmeric, coriander, fennel, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste. Rub fish steaks on both sides with juice of 1/2 lemon, then rub with all but 2 teaspoons of spice mixture. Refrigerate 3 hours.
- While fish marinates, heat 2 tablespoons ghee in a skillet, add ginger and onion and sauté until onion just starts to brown. Stir in remaining spices and sauté, stirring, until spices smell toasty, then add corn and juice of 1/2 lemon. Cook briefly and set aside.
- Remove fish from refrigerator and brush on both sides with remaining ghee or butter. Heat grill and oil grates. When hot, place fish on grill over medium-hot coals or gas fire and cook about 5 minutes. Use a spatula to turn fish and grill 3 to 4 minutes, until a little liquid just begins to pool on surface of fish and a paring knife inserted just at the bone can move flesh away from it easily. Salmon should be cooked about 3 minutes on each side. Remove fish to a warm platter or individual plates.
- Reheat corn mixture, adding cilantro and a couple tablespoons water to moisten it. Spoon corn on fish, garnish with wedges cut from remaining lemon and serve.
GRILLED PACIFIC HALIBUT WITH MANGO SALSA
This sweet and spicy salsa goes beautifully with a firm, white fish like halibut. Make sure your mango is very ripe. Mangos are a good source of potassium, vitamin A and beta-carotene. You would think that such a sweet fruit would be high in calories, but because of all the water in a juicy mango, the caloric content is relatively low - about 135 calories in a whole mango, according to nutritionist and author Jonny Bowden.

Steps:
- Finely dice the mango. Cut down the broad side of the mango, slightly off center, from the stem end to the tip end. The knife should scrape against the side of the pit. Repeat on the other side, cutting as close to the pit as possible. Cut the flesh from the sides of the pit, following the curve of the pit. Lay each half on your cutting surface, and score with the tip of your knife in a cross-hatch pattern, down to the skin but not through it. Turn the mango half inside out, and slice the cubes away from the skin. Then cut the cubes into very small dice.
- Toss the mango in a bowl with the chiles, cilantro, mint, jicama and lime juice. Season with salt if desired. Cover the bowl, and allow to sit for an hour while you prepare your grill.
- Heat a medium-hot grill (or heat an indoor griddle or grill pan). Season the halibut fillets or steaks with salt and pepper, and toss with the olive oil in a bowl. Place the fish directly over the coals, and grill for four to five minutes per side, depending on the thickness. The fish should be opaque all the way through, and you should be able to pull it apart with a fork.
- Remove the fish to a plate or a platter. Serve with the salsa spooned partially over the fish and partially on the side. Alternately, spoon the salsa onto plates and set the fish on top. Garnish with lime wedges and serve.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality halibut. Look for halibut that is firm to the touch and has a mild, sweet smell.
- Grill the halibut over medium-high heat. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the grill and will cook it evenly.
- Baste the halibut with olive oil or melted butter during grilling. This will help to keep the fish moist and flavorful.
- Grill the red peppers until they are slightly charred and softened. This will add a smoky flavor to the harissa.
- Make the harissa ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the grilled halibut with the grilled red pepper harissa, grilled lemon wedges, and a side of rice or roasted vegetables.
Conclusion:
This grilled halibut with grilled red pepper harissa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The halibut is cooked perfectly and the harissa adds a smoky, flavorful kick. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
