Healthy Orange Dijon Grilled Halibut
Orange Dijon Grilled Halibut is a healthy grilled seafood recipe featuring a sweet citrus and Dijon mustard glaze. Ready in about 20 minutes, it's tender, flavorful, and perfect for summer BBQ dinners.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup orange marmalade
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons white grape juice mixed with 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 pound halibut fillet skin on
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the orange marmalade, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, white grape juice mixture, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Place the halibut on the grill skin-side down.
- Spoon about half of the glaze over the fish.
- Close the lid and grill for about 10 minutes without moving the fish.
- Check for doneness. The Orange Dijon Grilled Halibut is ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and flakes easily with a fork.
- Brush the remaining glaze over the fish and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
- Remove from the grill and serve immediately.
Notes
- White grape juice with a splash of vinegar provides a halal-friendly substitute for white wine while maintaining the glaze's balanced flavor.
- Fresh orange zest adds even more citrus aroma.
- Leftover glaze can be served alongside grilled vegetables.
- Garnish with chopped parsley, basil, or lemon wedges before serving.
