Grilled Halibut With Lemon Tarragon Mustard Food

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH LEMON-BASIL VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Whisk lemon juice, olive oil, crushed garlic cloves and grated lemon peel in small bowl to blend. Stir in 2 tablespoons fresh basil and capers. Season vinaigrette to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 hour ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat) or preheat broiler. Season halibut steaks with salt and pepper. Brush fish with 1 tablespoon vinaigrette, dividing equally. Grill or broil halibut steaks until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer fish to plates. Rewhisk remaining vinaigrette; pour over fish. Garnish fish with remaining 1 tablespoon basil and serve.

• Prepare the grill for medium-heat grilling.
• Remove fish from the marinade; grill the fish about 3 inches from the fire, turning once, for 5-7 minutes on each side, or to desired doneness.

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH LEMON-HERB CRUST

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, parmesan, lemon zest, salt and pepper.
• Add melted butter and toss with a fork to form a crumbly mixture.
• In another small bowl, combine mayonnaise, green onion and tomato. (The recipe says to add 1 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon but I never have it so I omit it).
• Arrange fish, skin side down, on a platter. Spread each fillet with mayonnaise mixture. Press crumbs mixture onto each fillet.
• Preheat barbecue on high for 10 minutes. Reduce to medium-high and barbecue fish skin side down until fish flakes easily with a fork and topping is nicely brown - about 10-12 minutes.
• Drizzle lemon juice over fillets and serve immediately.
