You and your family will fall in love with this fresh grilled fresh recipe that gets its flavor from a simple lemon and olive oil mixture. For perfectly grilled catch-of-the day, use fillets that are at least 1-inch thick. Be sure not to overcook the fish. Once it can flake with a fork, remove it from the grill. The tartar sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated. Prefer a grilled fish sandwich? Halibut has one center bone that’s a snap to remove after the fish is cooked. Simply remove it and serve the fish on the bun of your choice. Serve this with coleslaw.
