Ingredients

measuring cup

Servings: 6

Directions

  • Step 1

    In a baking dish large enough to contain the fish, combine the parsley, thyme, oil, shallot, lemon zest and garlic. Add the halibut filets and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

  • Step 2

    When ready to cook, prepare the grill. If using a gas grill, preheat the grill to high. If using a charcoal grill, start the charcoal or wood briquettes; when the briquettes are ready, distribute them evenly under the cooking area for direct heat. Brush the grate with olive oil.

  • Step 3

    Remove the halibut filets from the marinade and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill for about 2 minutes per side, or until opaque.

  • Step 4

    Meanwhile, in a small pan over low heat, add the butter, lemon juice and hot pepper sauce to taste and heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted.

  • Step 5

    To serve, place the fish atop a serving of Cheddar Cheese Grits and drizzle some of the butter sauce over it.
