Cedar Planked Halibut Recipes

Steps:

• Place the cedar plank in water to soak, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Stir butter, lemon juice, herbes de Provence, dill, tarragon, paprika, and garlic together in a small bowl.
• Place halibut steaks on the cedar plank. Season to taste with pepper; spoon half the butter mixture onto the halibut.
• Place the cedar plank into the grill; cook, with grill lid closed, for 20 minutes. Open grill; baste halibut with remaining butter mixture. Continue grilling until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the butter, egg yolk, lemon juice, mustard, bread crumbs, green onions, parsely, and garlic. Pulse for 1 to 2 minutes to throughly combine into a paste. Pour the butter mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap, roll the wrap as you would a cigar, into a cylindrical shape, and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours until hardened.
• Cut the halibut into four to six equal steak portions.
• Brush the soaked wood with oil and place into the oven on a baking sheet for 10 minutes to begin to season the wood. Brush the fish with oil ands season with salt and pepper.
• Remove the hardened butter from the refrigerator, unwrap, and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place 1 or 2 slices on top of each piece of fish. Place each halibut steak on top of a hot cedar plank and put the planks into a roasting pan large enough to hold them all side by side. Put the roasting pan into the oven and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked to the desired degree of doneness and the butter has melted into a browned crust. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
