Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 halibut steaks or firm white fish fillets
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup oil of your choice
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic puree or minced fresh garlic
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon zested lime rind
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine lime juice, oil, onion powder, garlic puree, ground cumin, lime zest, and black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Place the halibut fillets in a Ziploc bag or flat container and pour the marinade over them. Ensure all pieces are well-coated. Seal and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
  3. Preheat your grill to high heat. Remove fish from the fridge and drain excess marinade.
  4. Lightly oil the grill grates. Brush both sides of each fillet with oil before placing them on the grill.
  5. Grill without moving for at least 3 minutes to achieve grill marks. Rotate each piece once grill marks form and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
  6. Flip carefully using a spatula; cook until firm to touch (about 10 minutes total per inch of thickness).
  7. Serve hot with fresh cut limes on the side.
