Tips:

  • Choose the freshest halibut you can find. Look for fish that is firm to the touch and has a mild, sweet smell. Avoid fish that is slimy or has a strong fishy odor.
  • Make sure the halibut is cooked through before serving. The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork. If you're not sure if the fish is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the fillet. The internal temperature should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill. If you're grilling multiple pieces of halibut, make sure there is enough space between them so that they can cook evenly.
  • Use a well-oiled grill. This will help to prevent the fish from sticking to the grates.
  • Baste the fish with the lemon-basil vinaigrette while it's grilling. This will help to keep the fish moist and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Grilled halibut with lemon-basil vinaigrette is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The fish is flaky and flavorful, and the vinaigrette adds a bright and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
