Just for the halibut

Fire Walker

Has anyone grilled halibut steaks with a 400+ dome temp? Why I mention this is there was a food net show on grill techniques around the world, this show happened to be on Norway not exactly the culinary capital of the world but they do know their fish, anyway they grill thier Salmon on a very hot grill it formed a nice looking crust. I was wondering if anyone sees the benefit of quik grilling fish. I realize that Salmon is a lot oiler than halibut just looking for another way of doing halibut.

Halibut, Buttered with Lemon, Chuckls


Ingredients
4 Halibut steaks, 1" thick. 6-8 oz/serving.
2 bunches scallions
1/2 medium yellow onion
1/2 stick butter
1 fresh lemon
dried basil
dried parsley
kosher salt
black pepper




Prep:
1 Wash scallions and lay on a shallow v-rack that has been cleaned and sprayed with Pam. Alternate tops and bulbs.
2 Lay the halibut steaks on the scallions.
3 Slice the onion into strips about 1/4 inch wide. Lay across the halibut - don't cover the halibut, just put down enough so there's a good scatter of onions on the fish.
4 Next, place dabs of butter on the fish. Again, not lots, but try to make sure that as the butter melts it will spread out and cover the surface of the fish.
5 Lightly sprinkle with the kosher salt, grind some black pepper and shake on a light amount of dried basil and parsley.
6 Finally, slice the lemon into slices about 1/8 inch thick. Lay the slices over everything, trying to make sure that as things heat up they won't slide off.
Cooking:
1 This is a light dish, so I don't add any smoke. Get the egg going at 350°F, set up with a grid extender over a drip pan. If you can, place the drip pan on a couple of firebricks so as the butter drips it won't burn. I use 3 firebricks that are about 1 1/4 x 1 1/4 x 8 inches long.
2 Cooking time is about 30-45 minutes. Brush with melted butter a few times near the end, depending upon how much the fish needs it. Test for doneness with a fork. When the halibut flakes apart through past the center of the cut, then it's done.
