    Grilled Halibut with Lemon and Parsley is a great quick summer cookout dish. Best with fresh halibut steaks, but can use fillets or another dense white fish such as Mahi Mahi or Grouper.

    Behind the Scenes Grilled Halibut with Lemon and Parsley

    This Grilled Halibut with Lemon and Parsley recipe is a great quick summer cookout dish. It works best with fresh halibut steaks, but you can use fillets, or another dense white fish if you want to. Make sure that you don't overcook the fish if it "flakes easily with a fork" it's overdone. You want the fish to just separate, while still being opaque in the middle.

    Make sure that you don't overcook the fish

    When buying fresh fish, make sure that it looks and smells fresh. Previously frozen fish is all right if it has been properly thawed, but in many cases, it's not. The fish will feel rubbery when it's not thawed correctly, and it will cook, exactly how it feels, rubbery.  It's one of the reasons I think people don't incorporate more fish into their diet; old rubbery fish that is overcooked, is simply not good eats.

    Try to buy your fish at a fish market, not the supermarket, whenever possible, unless of course, you have the chance to go out and catch it yourself...now that's fresh fish!

    This recipe does require an hour of marinating time, so plan accordingly!

    Along with a glass of crisp white wine, this dish pairs beautifully with Low-Fat Oven Baked Zucchini Crisps or Zucchini Corn Saute.

    Hi, I'm Lindy.

    I am a home-trained chef who loves to cook and eat delicious food. As I like to say, "Life is too short to eat mediocre food". And I find too much food out there is mediocre. I don't think good food needs to be fussy, or difficult to prepare. Most of my recipes are fresh, quick, easy, and tasty while keeping both calories and fats in check.
