Ingredients
- 4 pieces halibut fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons ghee
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (205°C).
Step 2
Rinse and pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of each fillet with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the ghee. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and chopped dill. Mix well to combine and remove from heat.
Step 4
Place the seasoned halibut fillets on the preheated grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque in the center and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 5
Transfer the grilled halibut fillets to a serving platter. Immediately spoon the lemon herb butter over each fillet, allowing the butter to melt and enhance the flavor of the fish.
Step 6
Serve hot with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete Whole30 meal.
