Cedar Planked Halibut

Monty77

The most recent posts for halibut really gave me the itch, so I caved and picked up the ingredients on the way home from work.  Soaked the cedar plank for 1 hour, and prepared the fish by brushing it with EVOO and a dusting of salt and pepper, finished off with a light dusting of Shaking the Tree by DP.  

Got the Egg stable at 400* and placed the plank directly on the grill for direct heat.  Laid down some fresh sliced lemon for a base and placed the halibut on top.  Cooked for about 10 minutes and then I added a cast skillet of melted butter, garlic, and S&P.  Added some fresh asparagus and closed it back up for another 5 minutes or so.  Total time for the halibut was 20 minutes (IT 140) and I served it up on a bed of whole grain brown rice.  Added a little fresh squeezed lemon juice and dug in.  Scratched my itch and tasted really nice for a fairly healthy meal.  









And then I quickly fell off the rails again and made some grilled peaches to complete this lovely evening.  Cut up a fresh peach, and melted some butter with brown sugar and cinnamon and brushed both sides of the peach.  Put them on the grill direct at 375* and cooked for about 25 minutes flipping once with another brushing of the mixture.  

Served it up nice and warm with a scoop of french vanilla!

Thank you for the compliment, I don't post a lot of my cooks cause I often feel some are quite basic!  I do enjoy sea food on the Egg and halibut is one of my favs.
