*Testing Methodology: This recipe was rigorously tested using fresh, thick-cut halibut steaks sourced from local fish markets to ensure the perfect balance of flaky texture and citrus infusion when exposed to open flames.*

**Serves:** 4 people

## Ingredients

- 4 fresh halibut fillets (about 6 oz each, 1-inch thick)
- 1/4 cup fresh calamansi juice (can substitute with a 50/50 mix of lime and orange juice)
- 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

## Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the calamansi juice, minced garlic, olive oil, honey, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Place the fresh halibut fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes. Reserve the remaining marinade for basting later.
3. Preheat your [grill](https://news.freshaig.com/grilling-seafood/) to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the delicate fish from sticking.
4. Place the halibut fillets on the grill. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, carefully flipping once. Baste with the reserved marinade during the last minute of cooking. The fish is done when it is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature of 145°F).
5. Remove from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately with extra grilled calamansi halves.
