Preparation
- Gather all ingredients including the halibut fillets, marinade, and any extra seasonings.
- Heat the grill to a medium temperature, aiming for about 400°F.
- Coat the halibut with the marinade and let it sit for about 30 minutes to soak up the flavors.
Grilling
- Season the halibut with salt and pepper, or keep it coated in marinade for extra flavor.
- Place the halibut on the grill grates, skin-side down, and cook for 5–6 minutes.
