I love the mild taste of halibut and its firm texture. But like most white fish, it can sometimes taste a little bland. However, with the marinade used here, it is anything but bland!
Halibut is a fish that is especially suitable for grilling, because of its firm texture, but this recipe also works with cod.
MY LATEST VIDEOSAs for sides to go with this dish, I like to serve grilled halibut with mashed cauliflower, omitting the Parmesan and adding a tablespoon of sesame oil for a more Asian flavor.
Another halibut recipe that I really like is this recipe for blackened halibut. Much like this recipe for grilled halibut, the secret is adding a wonderful mix of spices that adds lots of bold flavors, and taking care not to overcook the fish.
