Miscellaneous | Family Fare | Quick & Healthy Grilled Halibut is Just Peachy
Did you know that eating fish regularly can reduce your real age? I try to serve fish at least once a week but kids can be finicky. Summer is perfect for outdoor cooking. There are no lingering odors inside the house and kids find the flavor of barbecued fish much more appealing. For the grown-ups, halibut steaks are seasoned with fresh garlic and chili powder then grilled. The sassy peach salsa made with chipotle chiles is a delicious complement. Chipotle chiles are dried smoked jalapeŇo and just a little can pack a mean wallop. Use half a chile then do a taste test before adding more. For the kids, instead of salsa, sliced peaches are sweetened with a bit of sugar and served on the side. Toast some French bread on the grill, if time permits, and add a green salad to round out the meal.
Halibut with Grilled Peach Salsa
1 1/2 pounds halibut steaks Grown-ups
2 cloves garlic, pressed Children Salt for seasoning Grilled Peach Salsa 3/4 pound fresh free stone peaches, peeled and cut in half Grown-ups
2 tablespoons minced red onions Children 1 tablespoon sugar
Light the coals of an outdoor grill. Rinse the halibut under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Lightly coat with olive oil spray. Rub the garlic into the halibut for the grown-ups, then season with salt, pepper and chili powder. Season the halibut for the children with salt. When the coals are ready, coat a grill basket with olive oil spray. Transfer the halibut to the grill basket and grill for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through. Squeeze the lime over the fish just before serving. Grill the peaches for about 3 minutes on each side or until lightly charred. (For the kids, you may want to set aside their portion without grilling.) Chop the peaches for the grown-ups into small pieces and transfer to a bowl. Add the onions, cilantro, raspberry vinegar and chipotle chile. Squeeze the lime juice into the bowl. Stir to combine and season to taste with salt. Cut the peaches for the children into wedges. Toss with sugar. Note: Freeze the remaining chipotle chiles in plastic bags for later use. Substitute fresh or canned jalapeŇo chiles if chipolte are not available.
