Just for the halibut (he he), why not buy your fish from Costco?? This week, we threw some Costco halibut on the grill and it was outstanding. Now, I wish I could say that our daughter enjoyed it as much as we did, but then I would be lying to you. (I vow to offer it again to her).
My hubby turned to chef Suzanne Goin from Lucques & AOC for her expertise. Here's what he did (excerpt taken from "Sunday Suppers at Lucques."
1. Season halibut with zest of lemon, 1 Tbsp. of fresh thyme and 2 Tbsp. of fresh parsley.
2. Cover and refrigerated it for at least 4 hours.
3. Take fish out to reach room temperature.
4. Get your fire or grill pan going.
5. Brush halibut with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
6. Place fish on the grill and cook 2 minutes. Give a quarter turn and cook for a minute or two longer. Turn over and cook for 2 - 4 more minutes (depending on thickness). Peek inside to see if it is done. When halibut is cooked through, it begins to flake and separate.
We served this with mashed potatoes and a green salad.
We've also eaten salmon from Costco and loved it, too. So if you're on a budget and still want to eat like a king, go check out your fish selection at your local Costco.
This sounds wonderful! I'm always afraid to grill fish because i think it'll burn or dry out. Will have to try it this summer!
