Grilled Halibut with Tomato-Olive Herb Relish



I adore halibut and usually just prepare it simply, it's mild flavor and meaty texture make it a perfect partner for interesting finishes, such as this light and healthy fresh relish.


The uncooked relish is also fabulous on other fish, grilled chicken, chops, as a topping for toast slices, or mixed in with your favorite pasta.




You can either prepare it up to an hour ahead, or mix it up right before serving.


This time I served with fresh, steamed green beans with toasted pine nuts, along with grilled Russet potato slabs. To make them, I nuke the potatoes until just tender, when they are cool enough to handle slice 1/2 -inch to 3/4-inch thick slabs. Brush with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and grill until as crispy as you like. To finish I sprinkle some Piment d'Espelette (or Cayenne pepper) over, lightly.

If you would like the recipe for the relish, and some suggestions for variations ~

  6. I agree, what a fresh and healthy looking meal. You could use the salsa on any white fish. I'm making a mental note for this (that's risky, maybe I better write it down!!) Your pics really bring the whole dish to life while highlighting just the fish.

    Thanks Mary....Diane

  10. Thank you SO much for your comments. It's so kind of you to take the time.

    We're trying to eat in a healthier way, so I'm attempting to keep meals bright, fresh and full of flavor with less fat.

    When I post extra decadent looking, fat filled goodies, just KNOW most of them are going elsewhere and not staying in my house. *sigh*

    Thank you so much for following along, I love your feedback and heartfelt comments. :) :) :)

  16. Halibut is a favorite of mine, and it looks heavenly topped with your wonderful salsa. I'm imagining the salsa on little slices of toasted baguette. This may be light but it couldn't have any more flavor. Delicious!
