By: Lee Murphy

The Preservatory

In the summer there is nothing better than a fresh off the grill, fillet of Wild Pacific Halibut. This simple recipe is great for family BBQs, served with our zesty Jalapeño Cornbread and a simple summer salad dressed in sherry vinegar, grainy Dijon and olive oil to round out the meal.

 

1 – 600 g - Wild Pacific Halibut fillet – skin on

MARINADE

  • 1 Tbsp- lime or lemon juice

  • 1 Tbsp - olive oil

  • 1 - garlic clove, minced

  • 1/2 tsp - salt

  • 1/2 cup - Preservatory - Peach Jalapeno & Tequila Preserves

DIRECTIONS

  1. Heat grill to med-high.

  2. Whisk marinade ingredients in small bowl.

  3. Place Wild Pacific Halibut on tin foil skin side down and pour marinade over evenly. Let halibut sit in marinade for not more then 10 minutes or it will cook without you.

  4. Sear skin side up for 3 to 4 minutes, flip onto skin side and smear preserves from end to end and cook on grill until perfectly cooked – just as the flesh begins to turn white and slightly separates into flakes. Remove from heat so as not to overcook.
