Grilled Halibut with Lemon and Capers

Recipe type: Fish
Ingredients
  • Halibut fillet, fresh
  • Large lemon
  • Lemon pepper
  • Capers, drained - Honestly, these are not required. If you don’t have them. It will still taste amazing with the lemon juice and lemon pepper!
  • Optional: Dried basil, onion and garlic
Instructions
  1. I like to rinse my fish fillet. I have no idea if this is breaking the rules, it probably is. But often mine comes from the freezer and I like to rinse off any thawed fish slime. I pat it dry with a paper towel.
  2. Place halibut on a big piece of aluminum foil. You want a big enough piece that you can fold it up and cover it all.
  3. Squeeze half a lemon over the halibut. I don’t think you can ever have too much lemon juice. Use fresh, definitely.
  4. Sprinkle lemon pepper on top of halibut, as much as you’d like.
  5. Slice lemons very, very thinly and place lemon slices on top of halibut.
  6. Sprinkle with capers. If you like onions, add your onion slices (my husband doesn’t, so I only put them on mine). I like to add dried basil or even garlic powder.
  7. Wrap aluminum foil up and cover the fish. Crimp the sides so the fish doesn’t fall out. We want it to make a little packet – so it steams while it grills. I like to take two long pieces and make a + sign, this seems to be perfect, especially if you have multiple fillets in the packet. Then fold the bottom aluminum foil piece in and then the top piece over it. Crimp it.
  8. Grill on medium heat until the meat is opaque and flakes apart with a fork. I always seem to overcook halibut, since I’m nervous about it being cooked all the way thru. A general rule of thumb is a 1″ fillet will take about 9-10 minutes.
