"cook until done?"
I searched and found this from another recipe:
Cook on preheated grill until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 6 minutes per side.

Most of the pesto cooked off and the halibut was ok, but nothing like want I used to get at a restaurant here called Halibut's, hope they re-open when they find a new place.
Halibut is too much $$ for just ok dish.
Agree with others: this recipe is not helpful, except that it did validate the idea of pesto on halibut for me and provided an idea for the side of tomato couscous salad. About 5-7 minutes to get a nice "paper bag brown" on the top, and then flip to cook through. I added about a tablespoon of pesto per filet, turned off heat, and covered to heat pesto.
Nice change of pace. I had homemade pesto, sans Parmesan. Since the oven was on I roasted at 425 for 10 minutes. Perfect.
Used Kirkland (Costco) pre-made pesto. Slathered it on both sides and let sit for an hour+ as directed. Cooked on griddle, medium heat 5 minutes per side. Doesn't get much easier, and delicious.
