This recipe uses a bed of sliced citrus to form an indirect heat that adds a light flavor. Brush on the Honey Garlic Butter to finish the delicious meal.
Combine the butter, honey, lemon juice, garlic in a bowl and stir.
Set aside.
Halibut
Heat the grill to 350°F over direct heat.
Place the sliced oranges and lemons nest to each other directly on the grill grate. This will form a bed to protect the halibut from burning.
Place the halibut on top of the citrus. Brush with the glaze and let it cook for 10 minutes.
Carefully turn the halibut over and brush with the glaze. Let it cook for another 10 minutes.
Remove the halibut and the citrus slices.
Place the halibut back on the grill for 1-2 minutes per side to form a nice sear. This direct heat grilling will add a lot of flavor to the fillets.
Remove and serve.
Notes
Cut the halibut into smaller steaks rather than trying to grill a large piece at once. It is a tender fish and not one you want to overcook. Smaller pieces are more manageable and easy to handle on the grill.The purpose of the fruit is to protect the delicate fish from falling into the grill grates. It also gives it a hint of a citrus flavor that is infused into the fish.
