Grilling Instructions
Directions:
- Preheat the George Foreman Grill with the lid closed. Place the drip tray in front of the grill.
- Prepare the halibut: Place the EVOO, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a baking dish or sealable baggie. Pat the steaks dry using paper towels. Place the fish in dish or baggie and turn to coat with the marinade. Allow the fish to marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature.
- When the grill is ready, place the tomato halves, skin side down, on the grill with the lid open. Cook until the skin just blisters. This should take about 1 minute. Remove from grill and set aside to cool in a dish or bowl.
- Mix the EVOO, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
- Brush the grill plates both top and bottom with EVOO. Place the fish on the grill with the lid closed.
- Grill fish for 3 to 5 minutes or until the flesh is opaque and flaky in the center. Look for an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. 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. When the fish is done, place the fish over the salad and top the steaks with the grilled lemon slices.
- Turn off the grill by unplugging it or by pressing the on/off button if your model has this feature.
- Serve as prepared or with additional favorite side dishes.

Conclusion
We shared an excellent halibut recipe you can use anytime. The fish has great nutritional benefits for your health.
Grilling fish over an open flame outside imparts a nice smoky flavor. But, the flames licking at the fish are generally too intense for the delicate flesh. While halibut is pretty meaty and can stand up to some heat, direct flame grilling just seems to dry it out.
The Foreman Grill method of cooking fish helps to retain the moisture. Plus, it takes only minutes without the mess.
A nice tip is to place the grill on your stove or range top so that you can turn on the exhaust fan to draw out any fish odors during cooking.
George Foreman also has an indoor/outdoor model grill where you can grill outside, if you are concerned about fishy odors during the cooking process.
