Ingredients

  • About 1 1/2 pounds thick halibut fillets or steaks
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat a charcoal or gas grill until quite hot, and put the rack 3 or 4 inches from the heat source. Drizzle the flesh of the fish with olive oil, and sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
  2. When the fire is ready, grill the fish for about 5 minutes, or until it’s firm enough to turn. Turn, and grill until done, usually another 3 to 5 minutes. When done, the fish will still be firm and juicy but opaque, and a thin-bladed knife will pass through it fairly easily. Serve with tomato salsa.
