Best Honey Grilled Halibut And Eggplant Salad Recipes

GRILLED HALIBUT WITH MANGO-PAPAYA SALAD

Steps:

• Pat halibut dry and season with salt and pepper. Combine oil, orange juice, lemon juice, honey, Italian seasoning, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a glass or ceramic bowl for marinade with a whisk to make sure it is well blended. Add halibut and let marinate for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove fish from marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Cook halibut on the preheated grill horizontally for 5 to 7 minutes. Flip and cook vertically for perfect grill marks until it springs back with a mild resistance and flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 7 minutes more; be careful not to overcook. Remove from grill and sprinkle with fresh dill.
• Combine salad greens, mushrooms, mango, papaya, onion, bacon, and feta cheese in a bowl.
• Whisk salad dressing, orange juice, and honey for dressing together in another bowl. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Serve with grilled halibut.

GRILLED SWORDFISH AND EGGPLANT SALAD WITH HONEY-THYME VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Whisk together the vinegar, honey, mustard, chopped thyme and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
• Heat a charcoal or gas grill to high for direct grilling. Brush the eggplant, poblanos and bell pepper with canola oil, scatter over some of the whole thyme leave sand season with salt and pepper. Grill the poblanos and bell pepper until charred all over and somewhat tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the grill to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let steam. Continue to grill the eggplant until charred on both sides and tender, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Brush the swordfish on all sides with canola oil, scatter the remaining whole thyme leaves on both sides and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the swordfish until charred on both sides and just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness.
• Peel, seed and dice the poblanos and bell pepper and transfer to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the watercress. Pour some of the dressing around the sides of the bowl, and toss to dress the vegetables.
• Put the fish on a large platter. Drizzle over the remaining dressing and top with the salad. Serve.

• Add the ginger and cook an additional minute.
• Raise the heat to high, add the apple cider, brown sugar and honey, and reduce to 1 cup.

• Add halibut fillets and turn to coat.
• Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• To Cook: Preheat grill to medium-high.
