RECIPE OF THE WEEK
Kosta’s Grilled Halibut
Prepare your grill for direct medium heat. Make sure to scrape the grill before you put the halibut on.
A nice piece of boneless, skinless halibut
Kosher salt or sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil
Dried oregano leaves
Lemon
Season the halibut with salt and pepper and drizzle a little oil on each side.
Just before you’re ready to cook, put some oil on a scrunched up paper towel and oil the cooking grates (be careful not to burn yourself). Place the halibut on the grill. As you put it on, use your tongs to move it back and forth along the cooking grate for the first few seconds to help avoid sticking. Turn it after just one or two minutes and close the grill. The halibut is done when it’s firm to the touch, or it reads 130F at its thickest part.
Remove the halibut from the grill, let it rest for a couple of minutes and finish it with a squeeze of lemon, a sprinkle of oregano and a drizzle of oil. Serve it garnished with a lemon wedge with some rice and grilled veggies.
