How to Grill Halibut
1. Thaw Halibut Fillets
To thaw, remove product from original packaging, place in a resealable bag, and thaw in refrigerator for at least 7 hours. To thaw faster, remove product from original packaging, place in a resealable bag, and submerge bag in cold water for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Cook and consume within 2 days.
2. Prep and Heat Grill
Before preheating your grill, clean and lightly oil your grill grates to prevent your fish from sticking to the grill. Preheat your grill to a medium-high temperature.
3. Season Halibut
Brush a light layer of melted butter or oil on each fillet prior to seasoning. This layer of butter or oil will help infuse and retain the halibut’s moisture as it cooks. Season with your favorite seafood seasoning blend or try Omaha Steaks Signature Seafood Seasoning.
4. Grill Halibut
Place your halibut fillets directly on the grates. Cook for 5-6 minutes on the first side. After flipping, cook for another 4-5 minutes until each fillet is opaque throughout and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Serve with your favorite grilled vegetables and enjoy!
