This grilled halibut recipe involves lightly seasoning thick, firm halibut fillets and grilling them until perfectly cooked—tender and flaky inside, with slight char marks outside. Ina’s version often includes a fresh herb vinaigrette or a squeeze of lemon to enhance the fish’s delicate flavor without overpowering it.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 (6-ounce) halibut fillets, about 1 inch thick

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Season the fish

Brush both sides of the halibut fillets with olive oil. Sprinkle evenly with salt, pepper, and lemon zest.

Step 3: Grill the halibut

Place the fillets on the hot grill. Grill for 4–5 minutes on the first side without moving, until distinct grill marks form. Carefully flip the fish and grill for another 3–4 minutes, until it is just cooked through and flaky.

Step 4: Prepare the lemon-herb finish

While the fish grills, combine lemon juice, dill, and parsley in a small bowl. Drizzle this mixture over the cooked halibut right before serving.

Step 5: Serve hot

Plate the halibut, garnish with extra herbs if desired, and serve with lemon wedges.
