- 1 tbsp Fresh Cilantro (minced)
- 1 Lime (zested and juiced)
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- Salt & Black Pepper to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Make the Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, and garlic. Mix until smooth and set aside.
- Prep the Fish: Pat the halibut fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high. Place fish on the grates. Grill for 4–5 minutes per side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.

Chef’s Tip: Ensure your grill grates are well-oiled before placing the fish down to prevent sticking!
