Cuisine French
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil plus extra for serving
- 1 1/2 tsp fresh basil finely chopped
- 1 1/2 tsp fresh thyme finely chopped
- 1 tsp Dried Culinary Lavender Buds
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- healthy pinch Hot Pepper Flakes I used Piment d’Espelette
- 2 Halibut Fillets with skin, about 6 ounces each
- Lemon Wedges
In a small bowl, whisk together into a paste all the ingredients except fish and lemon. Spread the paste evenly on the non-skin side of the fish fillets. Let marinate for 20-30 minutes to allow the flavours to settle in.
Grill, skin side down, on a well-seasoned rack over direct high heat until the flesh is opaque throughout and starting to flake, 7-8 minutes, without turning. Serve hot with a drizzle of olive oil and garnish with lemon wedges.
Note: My grill temperature was 500°F (260°C) to start and I reduced the temperature to 400°F (200°C) as soon as I set the fish on the grill.
