04 Step
Recipe View
Preheat your grill to high heat (approximately 400-450°F or 200-230°C). (10 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. (1 minute)
06 Step
Recipe View
Remove the halibut fillets from the marinade, discarding the remaining marinade. (1 minute)
07 Step
Recipe View
Place the marinated halibut fillets on the hot grill and cook for approximately 5-7 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets and the intensity of the grill heat. (10-14 minutes)
For best results, use fresh, high-quality fish.
Do not over-marinate the fish, as the soy sauce can start to break down the delicate flesh.
If you don't have bourbon whiskey, you can substitute it with apple juice or a similar non-alcoholic alternative for a slightly sweeter flavor profile.
Ensure the grill is properly preheated before placing the fish on it to achieve beautiful grill marks and prevent sticking.
A squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice after grilling adds a bright, refreshing finish.
