Greek Style Grilled Halibut

Greek cooks have long favored the clean, simple flavors of fresh lemon and oregano with fish. One bite of this, and you’ll understand why.

1 lemon

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano

1⁄2 teaspoon salt

4 halibut steaks, 3⁄4 inch thick (6 ounces each)

• From lemon, grate 1 teaspoon peel and squeeze 2 tablespoons juice. In large bowl, with wire whisk, whisk lemon peel and juice, oil, garlic, oregano, and salt until mixed. Add halibut steaks, turning each to coat. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour to marinate, turning once or twice.
• Meanwhile, prepare outdoor grill for covered direct grilling over medium heat.
• Remove halibut from marinade; discard marinade. Place halibut on grill, cover and cook, brushing with marinade during first half of grilling, until halibut is just opaque throughout, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Makes 4 main-dish servings.
• Prep: 10 minutes plus marinating
• Grill: 6 minutes
