halibut fillets, ½ to ¾ inch thick

mini colored peppers, sliced into rings
olive oil
butter
salt and pepper
lemon, sliced thin
fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat your grill. If cooking in the oven, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cut one 12x18 piece of heavy duty foil for each fish packet. Spray with cooking spray.
  • Place one filet on each piece of foil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Layer with onion rings and pepper rings. Drizzle with olive oil and place a small pat of butter on top.
  • Add three lemon slices on top of each filet and top with fresh sprigs of thyme.
  • Fold foil over fish until edges meet. Seal by folding foil to create packet (see photo in post). Repeat for the end of the packet. Be sure to leave space for steam to circulate.
  • Place on hot grill and cover, grilling for 7 minutes. Flip packets and continue to cook for 8 minutes or until you can flake fish with a fork and vegetables are tender. If baking, place on cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Be careful opening foil packets as the steam will be hot. You can serve the foil packet on a plate, cut an X on the top of each packet and fold back the foil. If you prefer not to serve the fish in the foil, you can also use a slotted spatula to remove the fish and place on a plate. Serve with vegetables and lemon slices on top and drizzle juices from foil pack before serving.

Provided by Alice Hart

Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 preserved lemons
2/3 cup mixed olives, pitted
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, lightly crushed
1 teaspoon coriander seeds, lightly crushed
4 halibut steaks, 1 1/4-inch thick, about 2 pounds
Salt
pepper
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Chopped coriander, optional

Steps:

  • Build a campfire and let it burn down until the embers glow; you don't want flames to cook the fish. Otherwise, heat an oven to 400 degrees.
  • Quarter the preserved lemons. Slice away and discard the flesh and pith. Cut the remaining zest into strips and combine with the olives, sliced garlic, and cumin and coriander seeds.
  • Place each halibut steak in the center of a large double layer of aluminum foil. Fold up the edges slightly, then lightly season the fish with salt and pepper. Top with 1/4 of the olive mixture and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Bring the edges of the foil together and pinch them firmly to create an airtight seal. The packets can be made a few hours ahead and refrigerated.
  • Place the packets in the medium-hot embers of the fire, or if the fire is too fierce, on a rack above it. Leave to cook for 10 minutes or so, depending on the heat of the fire. The fish should feel just firm if prodded through the foil with a wooden spoon handle. Otherwise, cook in the oven for 15 minutes. Unwrap the packets carefully and scatter with chopped coriander, if you like.
