Ingredients
- 1/3 cup orange marmalade
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons apple juice
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 pound halibut fillet, skin-on
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the orange marmalade, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, apple juice, chopped basil, and red pepper flakes until smooth.
- Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat and clean the grates thoroughly.
- Season the halibut fillet lightly with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Place the halibut on the grill, skin-side down, to prevent sticking and allow for easier handling.
- Brush the top of the fillet generously with half of the prepared orange Dijon glaze.
- Grill for about 10-12 minutes, or until the fish becomes opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Brush the remainder of the glaze over the fish during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
- Carefully remove the halibut from the grill and serve immediately.
Notes
- Halibut can be substituted with other firm white fish such as cod or sea bass.
- If fresh basil is unavailable, fresh parsley or cilantro can be used for a different herb flavor.
- Make sure the grill grates are well-oiled before adding the fish to help prevent sticking.
