Planked Halibut

Ingredients:

• 1.5lb-2lbs Halibut Fillet
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• 1/2 Cup Butter
• 2 tsp Taragon
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 4 medium garlic cloves (Minced)
• 1 Tblspn Lemon Juice
• PLANKS

Directions:

1. Soak planks for a minimum of 1 hour before putting on grill (need to submerge plank with weights)
2. Start up grill on a medium/medium high heat, aiming for around 400°
3. Melt butter and mix in remaining ingredients, chilling the butter mixture makes it easier to spread on the fish
4. Cut halibut so it fits on the plants (see image)
5. Salt and pepper halibut to your liking
6. If you have a three burner grill turn off the center burner and place the fish there. If not, turn down either the left/right burner and put the planks on that side. The goal is to not have direct flame under the planks and cook more with indirect heat.
7. Put the planks on the grill and then spread about half the butter mixture on top of the fish
8. Close the grill and don't touch it for about 15 minutes
9. Baste the fish with the rest of the butter mixture and a brush, just use up whatever of the mixture you have left
10. Close the lid and check the fish every 5/10 minutes until it's done. The fish should be flaky and come apart easily.
