Ingredients for the Halibut

  • 2 (8 ounce) halibut steaks about an inch thick
  • 1 ½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1 pinch freshly ground pepper
  • extra virgin olive oil or butter for the grill
  • lemon slices for garnish

Ingredients for the Tomato Salad

  • 1 pint container small cherry or grape tomatoes yellow and red, sliced in half
  • 5 large basil leaves sliced thinly
  • 1 bunch fresh arugula leaves washed and air dried
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon good balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Turn on the Foreman Grill and let it warm up to around 375° F.
  • Prepare the halibut: Place the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a baking dish or sealable baggie. Pat the steaks dry.
  • Place the fish in the dish or baggie and turn to coat with the marinade.
  • Allow the fish to marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
  • Place the tomato halves, skin side down, on the grill and cook until the skin just blisters. You don’t need to put the top down. This will likely take a minute. Remove the tomatoes and set aside to cool.
  • Mix the extra-virgin olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  • Brush both grill plates with extra-virgin olive oil or a little butter.
  • Grill the fish with the top closed for 3 to 5 minutes until the flesh is opaque and flaky in the center.
  • Grill the lemon slices at the last minute.
  • While the fish is grilling, mix the tomatoes with the vinaigrette.
  • Place a handful of arugula on each plate, top with tomato salad, then basil.
  • Place the fish over the salad and top the steaks with grilled lemon slices. Serve immediately.
  • Serve wedges of crusty Tuscan bread or gluten free flat bread on the side to soak up the salad dressing and fish drippings and to round out the meal.
