Grilled Halibut with Pepper and Onion Relish

Ingredients

4 6-oz. skinless halibut fillets

1 large red bell pepper

1 large yellow bell pepper

½ yellow onion

1 large clove garlic, chopped

1 Tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling

¼ teaspoon pepper, plus extra

¼ teaspoon salt, plus extra

1 Tbsp avocado or other high-heat oil

½ cup white wine vinegar

 

Instructions

1. Cut peppers into 1/4-inch slices, then cut into 1-inch lengths. Cut onion into 1/4-inch slices. Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add peppers, onions, and garlic and stir to coat with oil. Turn heat down to medium-low and let cook gently, covered, for 15 minutes until soft, stirring occasionally. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. While cooking, prepare the fish.

2. Heat the grill or stovetop pan to medium-high. Brush the fish with high-heat oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. When the grill or pan is hot, add halibut fillets and cook on each side for 3 to 4 minutes, depending on thickness, until the fish flakes easily.

3. While the fish is cooking, add 1/4 cup white wine vinegar to pepper-onion mixture. Let cook for 5 minutes, covered, stirring occasionally. Take the cover off, add remaining 1/4 cup vinegar and let cook for 3 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the vinegar evaporates.

4. Place 1/4 of the pepper mixture on a plate and top with a fish fillet. Add a drizzle of olive oil and a sprig of your favorite herb to garnish.
