Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Halibut fillets
• 2 tablespoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 pieces (optional) Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create the blackening spice blend.

Step 3

Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Brush each fillet lightly with olive oil on both sides.

Step 4

Rub the spice blend evenly onto both sides of each halibut fillet, pressing it gently so it adheres well to the fish.

Step 5

Place the halibut fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side, until the fish develops a dark, crisp crust and easily releases from the grill.

Step 6

Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) and the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Remove the halibut from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.

Step 8

Serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, if desired, and enjoy your Blackened Grilled Halibut!
