Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) Halibut fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley
• 4 pieces (for serving) Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and smoked paprika to make the marinade.

Step 2

Place the halibut fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the fillets are well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes.

Step 3

While the fish is marinating, preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the halibut from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 5

Place the halibut fillets on the grill and cook for 4–5 minutes per side, or until the fish reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

Remove the halibut from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
