Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 6 ounces each) Halibut fillets
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro
• 0.5 pepper (seeded and finely chopped) Jalapeño
• 1 teaspoon Lime zest
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 as needed for the grill Cooking spray or oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the halibut fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to let the flavors infuse.

Step 3

While the fish is marinating, prepare the Picante Cilantro Mayo. In a small mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped cilantro, chopped jalapeño, lime zest, and honey. Mix well until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C). Lightly coat the grill grates with cooking spray or brush with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Place the fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking to retain the fish's moisture.

Step 7

Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes.

Step 8

Serve the grilled halibut warm with a dollop of Picante Cilantro Mayo on top or on the side. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
