Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat a grill or broiler to very hot.

  2. Step 2

    Press the pepper into the surface of the fish. Brush the fish with all but one tablespoon of the oil.

  4. Step 4

    Meanwhile, combine the remaining oil with the olives, lemon juice and garlic. As soon as the fish is cooked, transfer it to a platter and spoon the olive mixture on top.

I grilled the halibut filets on the BBQ, 1st side for 5 minutes, flipped for 3 minutes more. Mixed the olive oil, minced garlic and lemon juice in a small dish and poured over the filets immediately after taking them off the grill. Then added sliced pitted olives and minced fresh Italian parsley. A terrific dish! Served with ratatouille and grilled garlic toast.

I grilled the fish over maple-wood coals in our woodstove. Placed the grilled filets on top of some baby greens that I tossed with olive oil and the remaining lemon juice. I only had brine-cured kalamatas and they were kind of meh, so before adding the lemon juice I grated some of the rind over the chopped olives. Served with couscous. A keeper.

Perfect hot summer evening dish. Halibut cooked on the gas grill quickly and was moist and flavorful.

I absolutely loved this recipe. Am making it again tonight! Perfect! Thanks

Pickles

Loved this dish. Used half green olives and half black. Also added some lemon zest.
