How to Make Grilled Halibut With Lemon Tarragon Mustard

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon, and 1 tablespoon chopped chives or scallions. Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup olive oil until well combined. This is your marinade.
  2. Season halibut steaks generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Place halibut steaks in a resealable zip-top bag. Add the marinade, seal the bag tightly, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  4. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat (approximately 350°F).
  5. Grill the halibut steaks about 3 inches from the heat source for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your steaks.
  6. Transfer the grilled halibut to a serving platter. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh tarragon sprigs.
  7. Serve immediately. Enjoy with a side of rice salad for a complete meal!
