Ingredients for Barbecue Halibut Or Salmon Steaks

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • Garlic Cloves
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • Ground Black Pepper
  • Halibut Steaks

How to Make Barbecue Halibut Or Salmon Steaks

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean the grates well.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons butter, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the brown sugar is completely dissolved and the sauce slightly thickens (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Brush your halibut or salmon steaks generously with the brown sugar sauce.
  6. Place the fish on the preheated grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Continue basting with the sauce during cooking.
  7. Remove the fish from the grill and discard any remaining basting sauce.
  8. (Optional) For extra sauce: Double the sauce recipe and reserve half in a separate dish before basting the fish. Serve on the side.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
