The Perfect Lemon Halibut

Halibut is a mild, white fish that's ideal for grilling. Its firm texture holds up well on the griddle, making it a favorite for seafood lovers. This recipe takes it to the next level with a zesty lemon marinade that enhances the natural flavors of the fish.

Pro Tips for Preparing Fish on the Griddle

1. Choose the Right Fish: Firm fish like halibut, salmon, or swordfish are best for the griddle. Their texture holds up well to the high heat and won't fall apart during cooking.

2. Proper Preheating is Key: Always preheat your griddle to medium-high before adding the fish. This ensures a nice sear and prevents sticking. If you're worried about sticking, lightly oil the griddle or the fish itself.

3. Don’t Overcook: Fish cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it. As a general rule, fish should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F. For halibut, about 4-5 minutes per side should do the trick.

4. Let it Rest: After cooking, let the fish rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and tender fillet.

5. Season Simply: When grilling fish, simple seasonings like salt, pepper, and lemon are often all you need. The natural flavor of the fish should shine through.

This combination of lemony halibut and parmesan-crusted potatoes is a match made in grilling heaven. Whether you're a seasoned grill master or just starting out, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your BBQ repertoire. Happy grilling!

Ingredients

• Halibut

• Big Poppa’s Little Louie

• Big Poppa’s Desert Gold

• Garlic

• Butter

• Lemon

• Potatoes

• Parmesan Cheese

• Chives

• Mexican Crema

Directions

1. First, cut up your potatoes into nice even slices and put in to a plastic bag w/oil, Big Poppa’s Little Louie’s and garlic butter.  Then set them aside as you prep the fish.  To prep the fish, season with Big Poppa’s Desert Gold and lemon.  Now you are ready to head to the griddle.

2. Because of different cook times, place your parchment down first for your potatoes, followed by your parmesan.  Then place your potatoes on the parchment to begin the cook process.  Make sure your griddle is already heated to 400 before you place the potatoes.  You will cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and then flip over.  Then you can place your halibut down on the other side of the griddle that is at 325.  Let cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and flip.  You are looking for internal temperature of 135 for the fish.

3. Pull fish and plate with roasted lemons and the potatoes.  Top the potatoes with Mexican Crema and chives.
