Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Red currant jelly
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Directions
Step 1
Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and season evenly with salt and black pepper. Set aside to rest while preparing the grill.
Step 2
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, combine the red currant jelly, minced garlic, thyme leaves, lemon juice, and water. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the jelly is melted and the sauce is smooth. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Stir the butter into the sauce to add shine and richness. Once fully melted and incorporated, reduce the heat to low to keep the sauce warm.
Step 5
Place the halibut fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4 minutes on the first side, or until grill marks appear and the fish easily releases from the grates. Flip the fillets carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 6
Remove the halibut from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Step 7
Plate each fillet and spoon the warm red currant garlic sauce generously over the top. Serve immediately, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
