GRILLED HALIBUT WITH SUMMER SALSA

Steps:

• For the halibut: Season with sea salt and pepper. Place the halibut directly onto a hot grill for a few minnutes. Then using tongs or a spatula give the halibut a quarter turn to create the second set of marks resulting in a crisscross pattern. When it's time to flip it, repeat the process of grilling for a few minutes and then give it a quarter turn. Remove from grill and finish in the oven.
• Assembly: Spoon a nice mound of salsa in the center of each plate, adding a bit of the salsa juice. Place the halibut fillet on top. Garnish with chili threads and microgreens. Add chili oil to edges of salsa for color and heat. Enjoy!
