Preparation

Step 1

To make the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk the marinade ingredients. Add the fillets and turn to coat them evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour, turning once or twice.

To make the salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the salsa ingredients.

Remove the halibut from the bowl, pat dry with paper towels, and discard the marinade. Brush or spray both sides with oil. Grill over Direct High heat until the halibut just begins to flake when you poke it with the tip of a knife [see page 227], 6 to 8 minutes, turning once. Serve warm with the salsa.
