Juana'S Barbecue Halibut
Juana's Barbecue Halibut offers a smoky, savory flavor with a soy and garlic marinade, perfect for seaside gatherings or summer cookouts with friends and family.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together olive oil, soy sauce, and garlic powder to create a marinade.
- Baste the marinade on the fish as it cooks on the barbecue.
- Grill the fish until it flakes easily with a fork.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, let the halibut marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors. If you prefer a sweeter marinade, consider adding a tablespoon of honey or brown sugar. Using a grill basket can help prevent the fish from falling apart while cooking. If you don't have halibut, other firm white fish can work well too. This dish pairs beautifully with Jamie'S Grilled Zucchini.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the barbecue halibut alongside a fresh salad or grilled vegetables for a light meal. It pairs nicely with a side of rice or quinoa to soak up the marinade flavors. You might also consider serving it with Summer Lemon Jello Salad for a refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover grilled halibut in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the fish in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as it can dry out the fish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of fish for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute halibut with other firm white fish like cod or mahi-mahi. Just adjust the cooking time according to the thickness of the fish. They will also absorb the marinade flavors well.
How long should I marinate the fish?
Marinating the fish for at least 30 minutes is recommended to enhance the flavor. However, you can marinate it for up to 2 hours for a stronger taste. Avoid marinating too long as the acid can break down the fish's texture.
What can I serve with barbecue halibut?
Barbecue halibut pairs wonderfully with grilled vegetables like zucchini or corn. You could also serve it with a refreshing salad or a light pasta dish. Try adding a citrus-based dressing to complement the flavors.
