Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 ounces each) Halibut fillets
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 8 cups (packed) Fresh spinach
- 2 thinly sliced Thai red chiles
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels and season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine lime juice, soy sauce, fish sauce, honey, and thinly sliced Thai red chiles. Stir well and set the sauce aside.
Step 4
Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the halibut fillets. Place the fillets on the preheated grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the grill and keep warm.
Step 5
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 6
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring often, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and transfer the spinach to a serving platter.
Step 7
Place the grilled halibut fillets on top of the spinach. Spoon the Thai chile sauce over the fish, making sure to distribute the chiles evenly.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for extra zest.
