Halibut Steaks With Chili and Lime
- 2 pounds halibut steaks about 1 1/4 inches thick, preferably 4 small- to medium- size steaks or two large ones
- Juice of 2 limes
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- Salt to taste
- If you have two large halibut steaks cut each in half, making four portions.
- Combine the lime juice, olive oil, chili powder and garlic in a shallow dish large enough to hold the halibut steaks in a single layer.
- Add a pinch of salt if desired.
- Place the halibut steaks in the dish, turn them once, cover with plastic wrap and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Turn them again and marinate another 30 minutes.
- Preheat grill or broiler to very hot.
- Grill or broil the halibut steaks until lightly browned on one side, about six minutes, then turn and cook them on the other side.
- Baste them with the marinade a couple of times during cooking.
- When the fish is done, place the remaining marinade in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer.
- Spoon the heated marinade over the fish and serve at once.
