Light and fresh, grilled halibut makes a quick, easy and tasty weeknight dinner. The trio of ginger, sugar and cayenne gives the marinade for this dish amazing sweet-heat. Try it brushed onto chicken and pineapple kebabs, too. We leave the skin of the halibut on while grilling because it becomes crispy. However, if you prefer to eat halibut without the skin, you can use a knife to remove the skin. Serve with steamed, seasoned green beans or other vegetables of your choice. You can also serve the halibut with extra lemon halves.
