This grilled halibut is a great way to enjoy fish any day of the week. Topped with my garlic thyme butter, this seafood is perfectly tender and flaky without coming off the grill dry and bland. Bonus level? It's ready in less than 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat. Preheat your grill 375 degrees F.
- Prep the fish. Place the halibut fillet in a shallow baking dish. Combine all of the ingredients for the butter in a small bowl and pour over your halibut fillets.
- Season. Gently toss the fillet to ensure all sides are evenly coated in the butter. Season all sides with freshly cracked pepper and salt.
- Oil the grill. Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil. Pinch the paper towel between tongs and wipe it on the grates of your grill to prevent the halibut from sticking while it grills.
- Grill the halibut. Place the seasoned halibut directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and grill for 5-7 minutes. Flip them, close the lid, and grill until the internal temperature of the halibut reads 145 degrees F. You want your fish to be opaque and just start to flake.
- Serve. Remove the grilled halibut from the grill. Serve hot with lemon wedges.

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.
