Lemon-Basil Grilled Halibut

Lemon-Basil Grilled Halibut

A fresh, gluten-free marinade made from olive oil, lemon juice, and a variety of herbs and spices makes this fish dish a winner! Once the fillets are done marinating, just heat on the grill for about 10 minutes, and dig in.

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, basil, salt, pepper, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Place the halibut in a zip-top plastic bag and drizzle evenly with marinade. Seal bag and shake gently to coat fish. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, turning occasionally.
