Ingredients

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup orange preserve
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Fish

  • 1 pound halibut fillet skin-on

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the orange preserve, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, lime juice, and honey until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  • Prepare the grill by preheating it to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and oiled to prevent sticking.
  • Season the halibut fillet with salt and black pepper on both sides. Place the fillet skin-side down on a large piece of aluminum foil.
  • Generously brush the top of the fish with half of the orange Dijon glaze, allowing it to marinate for a few minutes.
  • Carefully transfer the halibut (still on the foil) onto the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  • During the final 2 minutes of cooking, apply the remaining glaze to the fish to intensify the flavors.
  • Remove the halibut from the grill, let it rest for a couple of minutes, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
