- Versatile recipe suitable for both casual weeknight dinners and special occasions.
- Quick and easy preparation makes it ideal for busy weeknights or impromptu gatherings.
Ingredients:
- 80 ml (1/3 cup) orange marmalade
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) Maille Dijon original mustard
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) lemon juice
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) white wine
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) finely chopped fresh basil leaves
- 2.2 lbs (1 kg) halibut fillet, skin on
Preparation:
- Preheat the grill over medium heat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the orange marmalade, Maille Dijon original mustard, lemon juice, white wine, salt, pepper, chopped basil leaves, and red pepper flakes.
- Place the halibut fillet, skin side down, on the grill.
- Pour some of the glaze over the top of the halibut.
- Grill the halibut, covered, for about 10 minutes.
- Check the halibut for doneness with a thermometer. It should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Pour the remaining glaze over the top of the halibut and continue cooking until it reaches the desired temperature.
- Once cooked, remove the halibut from the grill and serve hot.
Notes: For best results, marinate the halibut in the glaze for at least 30 minutes before grilling to allow the flavors to fully infuse. Serve the grilled halibut with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, for a complete and satisfying meal.
