Grilled Halibut with Lime-Mustard Sauce recipe was created because I wanted to barbecue. The Lime-Mustard Marinade enhances the flavor of the grilled halibut without overpowering it. I know your family and guests will love this halibut dish.

- 4 (1-inch thick) halibut steaks (about 3/4 pounds each)*
- Zest of 1 lime
- 2 limes, juiced**
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, extra-virgin
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives or green onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- Black pepper, coarsely ground
-
Prepare Lime-Mustard Sauce (see below). Preheat barbecue grill.
-
Place halibut steaks or fillets (skin side down) on sheets of aluminum foil and cut the foil around the fillets approximately 1/4-inch bigger (this keeps the fish from sticking to the grilling racks). I also spray the racks with vegetable oil (makes for easier cleaning).
-
Spread the Lime-Mustard Sauce over the top of the halibut.
-
Cover barbecue with lid, open any vents, and grill halibut until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 140 degrees F (halibut will be slightly opaque in thickest part). Remember the halibut continues to cook after it is removed from the heat source.
-
When cooked to your liking, carefully remove the halibut from the grill and transfer onto individual serving plates.
-
Makes 8 servings.

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime zest, lime juice, Dijon mustard, olive oil, chives or green onion, salt, and pepper.
* Halibut filets may be substituted
** If I am out of fresh limes, I have substituted lemon juice.

I get many readers asking what cooking/meat thermometer that I prefer and use in my cooking and baking. I, personally, use the Thermapen Thermometer. Originally designed for professional use, the Super-Fast Thermapen Thermometer is used by chefs all over the world. I only endorse a few products, on my web site, that I like and use regularly.
