Ingredients
- 4 pieces Halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, finely chopped

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Rinse the halibut fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 3
Brush each halibut fillet with olive oil and season both sides with salt and ground black pepper.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, unsalted butter, fresh parsley, fresh dill, and minced garlic. Mix well until the butter is smooth and the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Step 5
Place the halibut fillets on the preheated grill skin side down. Grill for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 6
Remove the grilled halibut from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
