Absolutely delicious! Start to marinate the fish at least two hours before you plan to serve it.
Ingredients
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 Tbs (15mL) olive oil
1/4 cup (25g) basil, fresh, chopped
1 tsp (6g) salt (sea salt if on a corn-free diet*)
1 tsp (4g) pepper
1/4 cup (60mL) fresh lime juice
1 1/2 lbs (680g) halibut fillets, or steaks
Directions
Combine all ingredients except for fish in a shallow dish large enough to hold the halibut.
Place fish in the dish and marinate for at least two hours, turning once or twice.
Remove fish from marinade and broil or grill for about 5 minutes on each side (10 minutes total per inch (2.5cm) of thickness). Transfer fish to a serving dish.
Heat remaining marinade in the microwave for one minute; then pour over fish. Serve while hot.
Serve with rice or couscous.
