Ingredients
4 halibut fillets (6 oz each)
3 tbsp Cajun spice blend (salt-free or low-sodium)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 fresh lemon wedge
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Pat each halibut fillet thoroughly dry using paper towels.
Combine the Cajun spice rub, smoked paprika, and olive oil in a small bowl until a paste forms.
Coat every side of the fish fillets evenly with the spice paste.
Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Clean the grill grates thoroughly and brush them with a light coating of oil.
Place the halibut on the grates and grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side.
Remove the fish once the internal flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a garnish of fresh parsley.
Notes
Keep the fillets at uniform thickness to ensure even cooking across all four pieces. Oil the grill grates before placing the fish to prevent the spice crust from sticking or sliding. Use a wide metal spatula for flipping to ensure the delicate fillets remain intact.
