Barbecued Halibut Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Stir butter, lemon juice, onion powder, parsley, dill, sugar, salt, and pepper together in a bowl; spread evenly over the halibut steaks.
• Cook on preheated grill until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 6 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Seasoning:
• Stir the paprika, sugar and onion powder together in a bowl and set aside.
• Halibut:
• In a small bowl, using a rubber spatula, combine the oregano, scallions, butter, barbeque seasoning, orange zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt and cayenne pepper. Spoon the seasoned butter onto a piece of plastic wrap. Using the plastic wrap as a shield for your hands, shape the butter into a log, wrapping it in the plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Heat a grill to medium-high.
• Brush the fish fillets on both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the halibut fillets until the center of the fish is opaque and firm, about 4 minutes per side.
• Brush the asparagus with some more oil and season the stalks with salt and pepper. Grill the spears until they are tender, turning them once, about 6 minutes total.
• Transfer the fish and asparagus to serving plates. Spread a generous tablespoon of the barbeque butter over the fish. Serve the remaining butter alongside the fish, if desired.

Steps:

• Whisk lemon juice, olive oil, crushed garlic cloves and grated lemon peel in small bowl to blend. Stir in 2 tablespoons fresh basil and capers. Season vinaigrette to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 hour ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Season halibut steaks with salt and pepper. Brush fish with 1 tablespoon vinaigrette, dividing equally. Grill or broil halibut steaks until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer fish to plates. Rewhisk remaining vinaigrette; pour over fish. Garnish fish with remaining 1 tablespoon basil and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
• Place butter, brown sugar, garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, and pepper in a small saucepan.
• Warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is completely dissolved.
• Lightly oil grill grate.
• Brush fish with brown sugar sauce, and place on grill.
• Cook for 5 minutes per side, or until fish can be easily flaked with a fork, basting with sauce.
• Discard remaining basting sauce.
• For extra sauce on the side, I usually double recipe for the sauce, and reserve some in a separate dish prior to basting the fish.
