Citrus Grilled Halibut With Cucumber Pineapple Salsa In A Whole Wheat Pita Pocket Recipes

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH PINEAPPLE CHIPOTLE SALSA

Steps:

• Plump raisins in rum for 30 minutes; drain.
• Heat grill to medium high heat. Brush pineapple slices with oil & grill until lightly caramelized on both sides. Cool & cut into 1/2" pieces; put in mixing bowl.
• Combine chipotles, lime juice, orange zest & juice. Whisk in olive oil. Pour over pineapple chunks, fold in green onion, red pepper, cilantro & raisins. Salt to taste. Set aside.
• Brush halibut heavily with oil & grill just until fish is opaque throughout, gently turning once. The grilling time on halibut is pretty short so keep a close eye on it to avoid over cooking. *** A 1-inch halibut steak will grill up in about 10 minutes over a medium high heat. Thinner cuts and fillets can cook in as little time as 6 minutes.
• Serve topped with salsa.

CITRUS GRILLED HALIBUT (COOKING FOR 2)

Steps:

• Heat the grill to medium-high. Spray a large piece of aluminum foil with nonstick cooking spray, and turn it up along the edges.
• Cut the lemons and limes in half and squeeze all of the juice into a large measuring cup, being careful to remove any seeds. Peel and chop the garlic. Then, whisk the juices, garlic, and pepper together. Pour about one-quarter of the mixture into the aluminum foil; place the fish on top; and then pour the rest of the liquid over the fish. Loosely wrap it up, folding over the foil to keep the moisture in while grilling but with enough openings for the juice to mostly evaporate.
• Grill for about 5 minutes on one side and then open the foil to flip the fish once mid-way through, for a total of 10 to 15 minutes until cooked through (time will vary depending on grill temperature and thickness of the fish).
