What's your favorite way to do grilled halibut? Marinades/sauces?

Just looking for some new ideas - it is always fresh and plentiful
here (PNW). I ususally just do something basic -
lemon/butter/garlic/peppers or Italian marinade.

Here's a recipe from Jamie Oliver that always works well for me:

"This is a fantastic way to eat meaty white fish like brill, turbot and
halibut. It's really special if they are cut through the bone into tranches
(steaks) - a nice flat fillet will do as well. Ask your fishmonger to cut
you the steaks.

Serves 4

Ingredients
1 handful fresh rosemary, leaves picked
extra virgin olive oil
4x200g/7oz brill, turbot or halibut tranches/steaks
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large unwaxed lemons, finely sliced
1 large handful salted capers, soaked
8 good anchovy fillets
a splash of white wine or prosecco

Method
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Bruise your rosemary in a pestle and
mortar to bring out the flavour. Add 90ml/6tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
and scrunch together.

Pat half of this flavoured oil round the fish, season well and put into an
earthenware dish or roasting tray. Lay four or five thin slices of lemon
over each steak (I normally slice these on a mandolin or use a very sharp
knife).

Sprinkle over your capers and drape over your anchovies. Drizzle with the
remaining flavoured oil and bake in the preheated oven for around 15 minutes
off the bone or 25 minutes on the bone.

Now you could splash a little wine in if you like. Remove from the oven and
allow a rest, just like a steak, for 5 minutes. Sometimes I like to squeeze
a little extra lemon juice over the fish so it can mix with the white creamy
cooking juice and olive oil, making an amazing natural sauce.

Great served with any steamed greens or a good crispy salad. " (Source:

place on a piece of tin foil that has been very lightly oiled, pop on
the fish and lightly oil the top.grill until done and serve with
whatever. No sauces etc. as if the halibut is nice and fresh it should
be tasty alone so nothing to detract from the flavour.

I like to use a fish basket

Coat the steaks with a mixture of lemon juice and olive oil, salt and pepper
then add sprigs of fresh herbs (rosemary and/or thyme) between the fish and
the basket and grill over a hot fire to char the herbs.

I love halibut. I recently had it at a local restaurant, broiled, with a
delicious sauce. I'd love to know how that sauce was made - it was creamy,
flavorful and had what seemed to be finely chopped nuts in it - anyway, it
was crunchy. Does this ring a bell with anyone? I don't know if the
restaurant would be willing to give me the recipe.

Grill halibut as per normal and place on a bed of cilantro pesto
(withoutt the pine nuts).
