INSTRUCTIONS
more from The Thrill of the Grill (one esp for Chris!) The halibut is
the largest member of the flounder family, sometimes weighing as much
as seven hundred pounds. This means that, although it is a flat fish,
its body is thick enough to cut steaks from, with the bone in. When
grilling,, I always prefer fish or meat with bones, since they hold
together better,,, are tenderer , ,and retain more juice and flavor.
The halibut's firm flesh and delicate flavor also makes it
particularly suitable for grilling. I would be reluctant to serve this
fish with a strong relish for fear it would be too overpowering. Here
I serve it with a fresh raw tomato sauce that provides a subtle
background for the main attraction, the high-quality,, delicately
flavored fish. Put the diced tomato into a mixing bowl. Add the basil,
olive oil, and vinegar, mix well, and set aside. Rub the fish with
vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill the fish
over a medium-hot fire for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until the flesh is
opaque all the way through. Add the lemon juice and garlic to the
tomato mixture, and mix well. Spoon some sauce on a plate and place a
fillet on top of the sauce. Posted to recipelu-digest by molony
