Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-oz each) Halibut fillet
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Pineapple, diced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
• 1 piece Jalapeño, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat a grill pan on the stovetop.

Step 2

Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl, mix olive oil and lime juice, then brush the mixture evenly over the fillets.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture evenly onto both sides of the halibut fillets.

Step 4

Set the seasoned halibut aside to rest for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 5

While the halibut rests, prepare the pineapple salsa. In a medium bowl, combine diced pineapple, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, honey, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Once the grill or grill pan is hot, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. Place the halibut fillets on the grill and cook for 4–6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked halibut to serving plates and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 8

Top each fillet with a generous spoonful of pineapple salsa and serve immediately. Enjoy your Spicy Herbed Halibut with Pineapple!
